Kelli Jo’s Story
Clearing a financial barrier to move forward with confidence
With your support, Kelli Jo moved past a financial barrier that was holding her back—three years of unfiled tax returns. Now, she can take the next step toward financial stability and independence. What once felt overwhelming is behind her. Just as important, she was met with kindness and respect, restoring her confidence and reminding her that it’s possible to keep going.
Thanks to you, she now has a stronger financial founda on.

Connec ng to 211 to keep her home and return to work
With your support, Ariel found help at a moment when she had nowhere else to turn. After being laid o and falling behind on rent, she faced the very real possibility of evic on. One call to 211 connected her to a real person who listened, understood her situa on and helped her access the support she needed. What felt like her last resort became a turning point.
Thanks to you, she is now employed and stable.
