A longtime employee of the Cumming Donut Connection has been forced off the job due to a medical condition, but her former employer wants to make sure she gets the support she needs.
Hilda Hodge has worked for the Donut Connection for the last nine years, and has also maintained a second job to help care for her seven children and grandchildren. Unfortunately, Hodge is suffering from advanced liver disease and can no longer work.
