Unexpected Expenses are Tough

Janet is 61 years old. She lives in North Little Rock and gets by on food stamps and supplemental security income. And even though she is careful, that barely covers her expenses and leaves nothing for savings. So when her car needed repairs, the unexpected expense meant something got dropped. Janet got behind on her water bill for several months. With late fees that quickly added up to more than she could pay. When she came to St. Francis House, she owed over $400 on the bill. Janet had managed to put by half of the amount but needed help with the other half. Thanks to you, we had the means and were happy to help!
