I Breathe Different Foundation

I Breathe Different Foundation was created in memory of Yolanda Calhoun.  Yolanda was an educator for 22 years.  While working in the public school system, Yolanda inhaled asbestos mold which caused scarring of her lungs.  Yolanda was diagnosed with Interstitial Lung Disease.   In March of 2021, Yolanda was informed of the need for a double lung transplant.  While awaiting for the transplant, on January 11, 2022, Yolanda was hospitalized and lost her battle February 5, 2022.  The I Breathe Different Foundation was created to continue to give back to schools, students and those battling with ILD by way of backpack drives with school supplies, Christmas toy drives, Thanksgiving food drive, scholarships, and much more!  Your donations are greatly appreciate!
