Cindy unexpectedly became the guardian of her grandson after she received a late night call from the police. In that moment, she went from being a semi-retired small business owner to becoming a parent again to a 4-year old. Cindy knew she needed help to be able to provide more for her family, so she came to Strong Families. 

After attending her first Strong Families class, Cindy was hesitant to continue on in the program because of her age and struggles. She decided to continue her journey with the program because she knew her success coach was always just a phone call away and would always be there to help her. Thanks to Strong Families, Cindy was able to pay down her credit card debt, rebuild her financial security and learn better money management skills.

"Thanks to Strong Families, I was able to create robust savings."

Fredericka came to Strong Families broken and unsure of the next steps she would take in life. After struggling with homelessness and finances, Fredricka put in the hard work during her Strong Families classes.

Thanks to our program, Fredricka was able to pay off debt, build household budgets, double her income and save hundreds of dollars. Committed to her family and what is truly important, she now has a home and is continuing her education to advance her career.

"My kids were so supportive of their mommy and I could see the happiness in their faces as we learned to better our home life."
