“I am so overwhelmed with gratitude for the support I have received. Everyone I spoke to was so friendly and I felt really safe and respected. As someone that has worked so hard and multiple jobs for so long, I was terrified to reach out for financial support as I have never been in financial hardship before. I definitely had a fear of stigma but the whole process was very non-judgemental and helpful. Thank you :)”
To help our Financial Counsellor understand your situation, it is helpful to bring the following items to your first appointment:
“I contacted the Financial Counsellor because I have felt overwhelmed about my situation. She gave me some advice which I followed, such as phoning my bank for details on an account and advised me on ways to get organised and keep track of expenses in order to start a budget. I was nervous, but she spoke to me in a supportive and kind way. I feel now like my situation is manageable and I have a plan.”
