Celestine's Story

Why did you come to the Financial Empowerment Center?

I was struggling with figuring out how to budget my money and prioritize my spending.

What financial achievements have you made since coming to the FEC?

I have reduced my debt and increased my credit score by 50 points. 

Why and how has the FEC made a difference in your financial future and overall life? What has working with a Financial Coach done to help you, your family, etc.? What would you say to a friend or family member who was curious about how the FEC could help them?

Since coming to the FEC, I have been working towards achieving my financial goals with the help of my coach. She has been helpful, responsive, and easy to work with during my need for financial assistance due to Covid-19. By understanding my financial goals, she assisted me with creating a budget and prioritizing which creditors to pay first. This resulted in debt reduction and an increased credit score of more than 50 points over the past few months.

Do you plan to continue working with your Financial Coach to achieve specific goals? What goals? How can the FEC help you achieve these goals?

Yes. I look forward to reaching my financial goals by the end of the year and improving my financial future.
