I worked hard and climbed the corporate ladder at advertising agencies for a decade, but realized every dream I was supporting belonged to someone else. I started freelancing so I could make space to make my own dream of writing a book come true. But then, last year, I lost all of my freelance clients at once, and I found myself with no income at all.
Bills piled up. My rent fell behind. All of my credit cards were maxed out. It felt like I was sinking, like the very thing I swore I’d escape was happening all over again.
Then I found the Hebrew Free Loan Society. Their interest-free Debt Consolidation Fresh Start Loan gave me exactly what I needed to get back on my feet. Not only did I receive the funds to catch up on rent and pay off some of the most pressing debt, but I was also connected with a financial counselor who helped me see a way forward.
I cannot begin to describe the relief I felt. One day, I could barely focus on my daily tasks, and the next, I could breathe again and felt a surge of energy to get back to life.
“HFLS helped me start fresh and save for the future.”
