Your Donation will help to support people like Brittany Hill, who strive to be self sufficient and want to provide a good life for their family.

When entering the Family Self Sufficiency Program two years ago, Brittany Hill was tasked with setting goals, which included paying down her debt and obtaining a degree in the medical field.

Within six months, she had enrolled in school and began taking classes towards a degree in radiology. At the end of 2014, Brittany will have completed her associate’s degree in medical office assistance, and is focused on obtaining a four year degree in radiology.

“I want to keep going so that I can get a good job. I got into debt working as a pharmacy technician. The certification program was expensive and my pay was not enough to cover my living expenses with three children and school loans. Even though I worked full time, I quickly went into debt. I fell behind on my payments and was charged penalties. The debt just kept building and I knew I was in trouble.”

Well over $10,000 in debt when she began the program and eager to restore her credit, Brittany is now budgeting her income and paying off debts. “My credit has gone up 57 points since I began the program. I’m leasing a car  and paying off defaulted school loans and old bills.”

Motivated to complete the goals she has set, Brittany wants to work harder.

“RCAP Solutions has helped me to get on my feet and become independent. My counselor helps me to focus on my goals. I can’t say enough about the amazing support I have received.”

Brittany hopes to purchase a home with the escrow funds she will receive when completing the program.

“I plan to take a home ownership certification course and am motivated to own my own home and car. I’ve lived in apartments that were not safe. I want to be a good example for my girls. I want to give them a good life and give them each a college fund. I don’t want them to struggle like I did.”
