“HELLO WANDA FAMILY! I am glad to announce that my son and I finally got our first house. Yah, after 9 months of struggles! Thank you WANDA (donors) and friends for sharing this wonderful program with us, and the knowledge, and most of all (help with) the motivation to accomplish this task. I learned how to save and I raised my credit score from 640 to 751. THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE AND WE CAN (ALL) DO IT!”

WHY DID YOU JOIN WANDA?

“I joined WANDA because I wanted to achieve certain goals and I saw WANDA as a great opportunity to do that.”

WHAT HAVE BEEN MY STRUGGLES AS A SINGLE MOM?

“You name it, I struggled. I was struggling trying to do it all at the same time: going to school, working two jobs and taking care of my little boy all at the same time. I had no help at all from my son’s father.”

WHAT ARE THE 3 MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU LEARNED FROM WANDA?

“Three things I learned were money management, credit monitoring and credit repair, and I especially benefited from the class on “15 Steps to Success” in the workplace. I also learned about other important goals to save for such as my retirement and my son’s education.”

WHAT ASSET DID YOU PURCHASE?

“I realized my dream of buying my own home. The home was in foreclosure. It is quite a fixer-upper. But I am so proud of it. Even though my home takes a great deal of my spendable income right now, I also want to start saving for other goals. But because of WANDA, I am aware of resources I need to access and steps I need to take in order to start saving for my other goals.
