McNair has been a part of Magnolia since last March, and will continue receiving $1,000 a month for the next two months. She said the funds have been vital, helping her get a car after her accident, pay medical bills, and even pay for her sons' youth football league.
"I got sick a few times last year, so I went to the hospital where I had to stay overnight. I had episodes where I became ill and I didn't know where it was coming from," she said, adding that she currently owes about $6,000 in medical bills.
