If you are living paycheck to paycheck, the struggle is real when it comes to…

BILLS

Living paycheck to paycheck is stressful and forces you to choose which bills you can afford to pay each month. This never-ending cycle can feel hopeless.

DEBT

Having a lot of debt can feel very scary, whether it's from school, medical bills, or your house. You want to pay it off, but there's never enough money for everything.

FEELING ALONE

You feel like you have to handle your worries all by yourself and are afraid to bother others with your money problems. No one has ever helped you understand your finances.

SAVING MONEY

It's hard to save money when you're always worried about paying bills. You dream of big things like owning a home and sending your kids to college, but saving for these goals feels impossible.

EMPLOYMENT

You need a job to take care of your family, but finding a job that pays enough to cover your family's needs is hard. Without a reliable job, it's even tougher to improve your situation avoid falling into debt.

GETTING HELP

Asking for help makes you feel like a failure, and past support programs made you feel unimportant. You want someone who makes you feel valued and supported in reaching your dreams.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Change is possible! You can get personalized, supportive help without constantly worrying about how you are going to make it all work.

Jasmine was facing significant challenges, including job loss, financial struggles, and living in an unsafe environment.

Despite working hard, Amilia and her family struggled to make ends meet until they turned to Catholic Charities Fort Worth.
