Why: Most of us can relate to the struggle that many experience as they embark upon life as young adults working a minimum wage job, while in college pursing a degree, as single parents, or low-income working families. Just the simplest mis-step, or illness, during this time can create years of struggle while trying to recover. Some individuals may have made a mistake as a teen or young adult and found themselves incarcerated and are starting anew. While others may have experienced neglect, absent-parent or abusive homes which led them into foster care and lacking love, support, encouragement and a positive role model.

Because of the short two-week pay-off time of payday loans, and these consumers having no credit or poor credit, the cycle of rolling over or getting a new loan ensues, often taking 3 to 4 months to reduce or pay-off the “pay-day loan”; incurring fees that accumulate up to a $1,000 dollars, or more.
To God be the Glory! Though it may tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come; it will not tarry long! Habakkuk 2:3
