Stories of Hope

Martin’s Story

What happens when you face an unexpected pay cut?

Suddenly, Martin’s employer cut his salary. As he searched for a new position, he began drowning in debt. When he faced eviction from his apartment, he was referred to Love INC by his church. After meeting with a Love INC budget coach, Martin gained new skills to begin working towards financial wellness.

With the partnership of his church and a grant, Love INC was able to pay a significant portion of his security deposit on a new apartment. Martin sent us this note:

I send heartfelt appreciation to Love INC and its donors.
I can’t tell you how much your help and support have meant.
It was truly a Godsend when I was at a low point with no one to help!

Because of your donations, our Connection Center can provide hope and help to our neighbors like Martin.
