The City of Dallas is working with Wilshire Baptist Church and private donors to help Louise Troh and her family start over. Troh, fiancée of Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan and her family completed the 21-day quarantine period and have no symptoms of the disease.
“We thank all people of kindness who have prayed for us during this time, and we join your prayers now for others who are suffering too,” she said. “We have lost so much, but we have our lives and we have our faith in God, which always gives us hope.”
During the decontamination of her apartment, Troh’s family lost the majority of their belongings. Troh will spend some time over the next week finding a home or apartment of her choice, within her budget.
The City is coordinating with the church and local philanthropists to provide Troh with enough funds to carry her through the first six months of a new lease and enough money to purchase new clothes and personal items. Once Troh decides on a new place to live, area non-profits will assist with furniture, linens and kitchenware for the new home.
Her son will return to school Tuesday morning.
