IMPACT STATEMENTS FROM CLIENTS
RECEIVING FUNDING
“The funding I received helped me to pay
my June 2014 rent. I was able to pay my
utility bills and car payment with what I
earned that month. This helped avoid
disconnections of my utilities, paying late

fees, and reconnection fees.
I was also able to be up to date with my
car payment. The assistance I received has
helped me get back on track with my bills
bringing all bills up to date and now I am
able to focus on paying bills that are
current. I am also saving money by not
paying late fees on these bills. Without the
assistance I received, I could have been
evicted from the place I live now and my
vehicle would have been repossessed
making it difficult for me to get to and
from work and subsequently costing me
lots of money in court fees and moving out
of the house.”
“I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THE ABILITY TO
NOT WORRY ABOUT HOW I WILL MAKE IT
TO WORK THIS MONTH.”
“This bus pass eliminated my stress and biggest barrier to having new employment. I am so
grateful for the ability to not worry about how I will make it to work this month.”
