Case Management Success Story

Submitted by Mid’s  LIFE Coordinator

A family of five was initially referred to me by the Community Service Coordinator after voicing their concerns about their financial situation.  The family initially sought budgeting assistance through another agency but were turned away because, according to the credit counselor, they were in too much debt.

The father had just lost his job and the mother was working as many hours as possible to pay the bills.  They had two children under the age of six so Mid was able to provide nutritional assistance through the WIC Program.  They were working on getting a mortgage modification so they could afford to keep their home.  I met with the family and helped review and change their budget.  The husband recently secured full-time, permanent employment and the family now has a financial plan in place to use their tax refund to pay down much of their existing debt.  Mid helps customers find hope in what seems like hopeless situations.
