Help for Individuals and Families

The “disaster” most familiar to us is one that happens to an individual or family – an accident, job loss, illness. I Love My Island has been able to help thousands of people through a crisis by providing relief through our program. These are some examples of the support we have given.

Supplied household appliances after a home fire
Provided a wheelchair for a disabled veteran
Furnished an apartment for a mother and children escaping domestic violence

Launch Scholarship

Each year ILMI provides two (2) $500.00 scholarships for students graduating from a Merritt Island High School who have an interest in an entrepreneurial career. Last year’s winner is pursuing a degree in marketing; the focus can be either a certificate program or a degree - what’s important is the plan for achieving that goal.
