Chelsea’s Closet is a mobile closet that travels with the workshops. It is sponsored by donors and named after Mrs. Tosha’s daughter, Chelsea Logan who suffered a brain tumor at the age of 11 months. Chelsea wanted a way to give back to her community (see the full story below).

Chelsea's Story

At the tender age of 11 months old, Chelsea suffered a Polycustic Astrytomas Brain Tumor. Tosha was in the prime of her career and in midst of buying a home. Everything came to a halt as she had to realize, God was first, He was in control and despite the heartache, her trial was going to be a testimony.

The tumor was benign. Chelsea had to undergo evasive surgery to remove it. Dr. Timothy Mapstone was the Neurosurgeon whom God used to perform the surgery. He was able to remove the entire tumor. Chelsea continued to have shunts surgically implanted and removed, due to the many infections. One night during their last shunt hospital stay, Tosha called upon her mother to pray a sincere prayer to heal Chelsea from the shunt. The following morning, doctors and staff thought Tosha had removed the drain tube from Chelsea's stomach as there was no fluid draining which was a sign of her ventricles working on their own. 

Today, Chelsea is a walking miracle and our angel on earth. She wanted a way to give back to her community so she decided to partner with her mom and change the vision of House of Empowerment to support moms and their family. Chelsea will graduate in the Spring of 2023 with an Associates Degree in Psychology and will also enter the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. She is currently the infant hearing screener at Wellstar and Piedmont. Her future goals include working as an RN in Psychology at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, where she spent a lot of her childhood.

 

They give all the glory to God! They give much love and many thanks to Chelsea's brother, PJ who had to endure all of the shiftings at an early age, her nana, Sherron, her aunt, Cynthia and her family, Tosha's work family at the time, Savannah Electric employees and Citizens of Georgia Power and to all other family members and close friends. Your kindness will always be remembered!
