As a Mother, Uncertainty is the Worst Feeling

I did not know how I would ever pay the rent that was due.

To All Board Members, Donors, and Staff,

I want to sincerely thank each of you for this opportunity.

I have felt very lost and frustrated over the past few months. As a mother, uncertainty is the worst feeling.

I did not know how I would ever pay the rent that was due without going into more and more debt and still be behind.

I thought I would lose my home and be homeless.

This grant has allowed me to catch up to point of staying in my home. I thought I would lose it and be homeless.

I have learned a considerable amount in just a short time. No one ever taught me how to save money, or how to use credit the right way. I have lived paycheck to paycheck my entire life, and it is exhausting. If you can’t manage money yourself how do you teach your children?

I am tearfully and forever grateful.

As much as I can’t say I necessarily enjoyed the online courses, I learned so much! I know that if I can just get to a point where I am caught up, I can make smart decisions, cut back on unnecessary spending, and start saving money for our future.

Thank you for helping me start over. Thank you for giving me a boost in the right direction. I am tearfully and forever grateful.

Ashley and Family
