What savers are saying

The following are messages from survivors who have received a savings match from FinAbility Match

My braces were not in my budget but I have TMJ really bad so I had no choice. This money will lower my debt so I can start putting money aside for a house. Saving is something my parents never taught me and it's made my life a little challenging from time to time.. but my mom and dad are the best though

Thank you! I’m so grateful for this program

I appreciate this opportunity that finability has giving me and help me with mentoring me how to save i will highly recommend this program thank you!

$500 definitely makes a difference and I feel more motivated to keep saving

I feel more confident in my daily living that I have emergency savings and that im not broke no more

Life is scary when you leave a DV relationship with only a backpack.. My son and I have had some bumps in the road but things like this that help us single parents out are such a blessing. Thank You 🦋

Survivors are at such a financial disadvantage, after fleeing and trying to pick up the pieces of their lives. It is such a hurdle to rebuild after crises. Having access to funding helps me feel like I have a chance in our society that has so much inequities.

I have been able to increase my emergency fund and feeling of security
