HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
We provide the tools our customers need to become self-sufficient. Marla Matrice Murphy came to us with poor credit,
was receiving public assistance and
had over $50,000 in student loan debt. After working with a financial coach,
she increased her credit score by 220 points, no longer relies on public assistance, paid down her debt and purchased her first home. AND, she went back to school, earning her B.S., then law school, earning her J.D. and passing the NJ bar exam!
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
our families become self-sufficient.
