CLIENT STORY
The client started with about a year ago and his situation was pretty bad.The client has child support that was
taking 50% of his income and over$50,000 in child support arrears and student loans that equaled $6,500, which
were in collection. He was working at a low-wage job and was barely able to cover his portion of rent.While the
client was incarnated, his identify was used to open credit in his name and he was left to pay the debt. He also did
not have a bank account.
The first step was to get him on a budget. Once he started following his budget, he concentrated on his student
loans and child support arrears.The Counselor referred him out to get some assistance with his child support.Then
the Counselor got his student loans on the rehabilitation plan, paying$5.00 a month. Once he started paying on his
repayment plan, the Counselor wrote several letters to dispute the debt that wasn't his. The dispute letters were
successful because Experian removed the debt. Currently, the client has opened a bank account with Lake Trust,
reduced his debt by$20,000 and secured a job making three times as much as before.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Ah
The client came to the Financial Empowerment Center accompanied by her 40-year-old son.This client felt completely
overwhelmed by her monthly expenses and felt plagued by credit card debt. She stated that she has never budgeted in
her entire life and that her late husband of 40 years took care of the finances and she has no clue what to do.
The Counselor immediately started the budgeting process with the client and found out that over 60 percent of her
income was going into her monthly prescriptions. Client stated that she sought out help with other agencies to help
with her prescription coverage but she made $10 above the limit and could not qualify. Consequently, client had to
spend $575 a month on her prescriptions.
The Counselor knew immediately that in order for this client to make ends meet she would need help with her
medications.The Counselor walked the client to the prescription assistance program and asked for an appointment
for her.Two months later the client received approval for assistance with her medication. Client is now receiving her
medicine free of charge.
On the following session,the Counselor updated the client's budget with the new adjustments and were able to see a
positive cash flow. Client reported that she sleeps better and has no anxiety any longer. Client is hopeful and does not
feel overwhelmed anymore. Client stated, "All I needed was for someone to help me navigate through the mess and
show me how to budget.Yes, I am 69 years old and should know all that, but I did not."

COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS PROGRAM
Bethlehem Lutheran Church
In the spring of 2019, during a Baker Neighborhood Partners Meeting, Pastor Matt Smith and Parish
Administrator Laurey Wyble of Bethlehem Lutheran Church learned of the Lansing SAVE program. They
immediately approached the program partners with an idea — to take a special collection with their
congregation whenever there is a 5th Sunday in a month, and donate the offering to be deposited into
the accounts of Lansing SAVE students who live in the Baker Neighborhood. Because of their creativity
and generosity, the Lansing SAVE Community Champions Program was born.
The church has held two offerings which raised a total of $2,692.
Their contribution was divided into equal deposits in the 121 Lansing SAVE accounts in the
Baker Neighborhood.
We look forward to replicating this program with other faith-based partners and civic organizations
throughout Lansing.
