The road to retirement wasn't an easy one. Raising children, helping them pay for their education, but eventually Frank and I made it. We lived comfortably for awhile, but all that was at risk when our son broke his leg and developed an infection after surgery.
He was unable to work and needed our help. Because we live on a fixed income, it was an immediate strain to our budget. Soon the bills were too much and I thought the "cash now loans" you see on television was an easy way to get a handle on the situation. It only made our problems worse.
With rapidly multiplying debt I turned to Catholic Charities, a United Way funded program. The counselor helped us create a budget to pull us out of debt. She also referred my son to some programs so he can find the help he needs.
Because of you, my husband and I can still enjoy our retirement without debt looming over us.
