“Life just happened. My debt got to the point where I started to feel like I was drowning. I didn’t feel like I could fix it on my own, and I wanted to start living my life as an adult without debt. I decided to reach out for help. At the end of my first meeting feeling relieved, that everything was going to be ok – a lot of work – but ok. I had a plan to pay back my debt and continue doing the things I love to do like Yoga and travelling.” – Yasmine
