Success Stories
Building Financial Stability: Rachel
Rachel’s early 20s were turbulent. A marriage, divorce, and substance abuse left her life in chaos with predictable financial problems. Several United Way-funded programs helped her get her life back on track. Through a domestic violence program, she found shelter and a 12-step program. With free tax preparation, her Earned Income Tax Credit refund, “second chance” banking accounts, and free financial counseling she re-established herself as financially responsible. Now employed full-time, she’s ready to resume caring for her 2 children.
