How Claudia's life was changed by United Way

In the past few years, we have all seen how interconnected we are. When people are unemployed and more families are financially unstable, the impact is felt throughout the community. Since its opening in October 2009, our neighbors can access financial education and coaching at the United Way Center for Financial Stability to help them pave a path to financial independence. Claudia, a single mother of seven, found herself unexpectedly unemployed and unable to afford her mortgage. With the help of her financial coach, Claudia received assistance in budgeting and credit repair, successfully negotiated a reduction in her mortgage payment and is now pursuing her dream of opening a child care center.
