Pernella Rodriguez, a single mother and phlebotomist from Detroit, faced financial challenges after a difficult marriage.
Struggling with mounting expenses, Rodriguez found hope through Gesher Human Services’ “HarMoney” program, designed to assist metro Detroit residents with credit scores of 620 or lower.
Participating in the program, Rodriguez witnessed a remarkable transformation in her credit score, from 458 to 632, and learned invaluable lessons in budgeting and saving.
With the financial knowledge gained from the program, Rodriguez not only paid off debts but also saved enough to make a down payment on a car and pursue her dream of homeownership.
Gesher Human Services’ “HarMoney” program, led by director Laltsha Cunningham, offers participants comprehensive financial education through webinar sessions and personalized counseling.
Empowering individuals to take control of their finances, the program provides grant opportunities of up to $2,500, facilitating debt repayment and homeownership aspirations.
For Detroit residents with credit scores above 620, Gesher Human Services offers alternative financial education programs, ensuring that everyone has access to resources for financial stability and improved quality of life.
