United Way Weekly Update: You Are Creating Lasting Change!

  • United Way of Inner Wisconsin supports programs such as Catholic Charities. Your gift is making an impact in our communities!
  • A couple came to Catholic Charities with debt and budget problems. While both of them worked full time jobs, they couldn’t meet their monthly obligations with the debt load that had accumulated over the past 10 years. The amount of their unsecured debt was a five digit figure. They were fearful that bankruptcy would be their only option. After meeting with a financial counselor they were able to see that with some changes in their lifestyle they could pay off the debt utilizing a Debt Management Program. Each of them obtained a second source of income and increased their monthly income. Additionally, they evaluated their spending and reduced their expenses. By utilizing the plan, they cut their monthly payments to their creditors by half. With the continued guidance of the financial counseling staff, this couple has been able to live within their budget and continue to get themselves out of debt. To date, this couple has paid off four credit cards and reduced their unsecured debt.
