Erica, a Save Up participant, worked in manufacturing and wanted to make a better life for herself and her two sons. After completing the financial literacy component of Save Up, Erica began saving. She saved enough to purchase her first asset - a new computer! She and her sons use the computer for schoolwork. Erica has gone back to school and hopes to open her own business after completing her education. She is still saving and working towards her next asset goal!
She has found having a computer to be especially helpful for her family because her sons are able to do their homework without having to go to the library. She also finds it helpful in advancing her career because she is able to fill out job applications online. She says that the computer has been a lifeline for her family.
Your support helps savers like Erica - and the 550 current savers and graduates - learn the skills that they need to help their families build better lives. We look forward to sharing more of the successes of our program participants!
