Struggling financially can be mentally, physically, and even spiritually exhausting. When you do all you can day after day and can’t make ends meet, it gets old real fast. But you’re not alone. Most Americans are one paycheck away from being on the streets.
The good news is, there’s a lot of help out there. But most people don’t know how to find it. Our goal is to make sure folks find the help they need when they need it. If we don’t have the resources you need, our members will do their magic and search for you. Others will share their knowledge of resources or suggestions based on their lived experience. The support in this group is phenomenal.
