One client says...
"I was at my breaking point. I had exhausted all of my resources. Had cars repossessed, eviction notices, past due notices, food prices, and not to mention gas prices were all hitting at once. My husband and I had worked hard to work towards being able to provide for our family, but it seemed any money earned was just not enough and the bills kept piling up. I reached out to the Helping Hands office and I was able to catch up on some of my bills which was a huge relief. Helping Hands provided help when options were next to none." - Lindsey, Assistance and Referral Client
