"Being a mom and wife again, and having the financial stability to provide a good life for us, are my proudest accomplishments."

I’ve made lasting connections, and feel supported even after graduating from the program.

There's nothing quite like Ripple of One and I am so happy that I get to be part of their program. Here is my story...

With the help of my Ripple team, I was finally able to enroll in college and will graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice this year.

'“Through the program, I was able to work with a mentor and a financial coach who helped me budget my money, establish multiple savings accounts, and go back to school!”

“I finally have peace! After a year in Ripple, my daughter said that I was not as angry and worried as I was before. I had no idea the effect that my finances had on her…”

“You might think that supporting Ripple is not a big deal, but for those in the program who want to do better - the parents and children who wake up every day just trying to get by - it is a HUGE deal.”

"I am forever grateful for this program. It has given me and my children new opportunities that would not have been possible..."

I now have a “go-getter” attitude and my confidence is getting stronger and stronger. I have cheerleaders (my team) that want me to be successful!

“In the time that I have been in the Ripple of One program, I have earned my barber license, saved my money and am planning to open my own barbershop.”

I know that I have a long way to go before I feel 100% confident that I cannot only survive with what I’m making but also to thrive.
