Success Stories

Aharon and Chava's Path to Stability

Aharon and Chava, parents of three, managed their bills well until Chava unexpectedly lost her job. Facing a large monthly deficit, Aharon reached out to Collective Kindness. Our team provided a two-month financial cushion and helped clear their debt. During this period, Chava found a new job, and the family is now back on their feet, and financially stable.

The Cohen Family’s Secret

The Cohens are a family of six, fully engaged in their community. The kids go to school, the parents engage socially, and contribute to communal organizations. But as expenses mounted, things started slipping. Monthly deficits grew steadily and credit card debt piled up. The parents were stressed, and the kids felt the brunt of the tension.  But with both parents working hard, what more could they possibly do?  Collective Kindness assisted them with debt consolidation, and our career consultants helped both parents secure better-paying jobs. Solvent each month, they’re well on their way to paying off their debts. 

Chaim's Narrowly Averted Crisis

Chaim contacted us in a panic, with only 24 hours until eviction, requesting a massive loan. Our volunteer lawyer researched the case and provided clear instructions which prevented the eviction. Subsequently, we connected him with a career coach to ensure he could avoid such situations in the future.
