Through Clarifi’s expert counseling, Danielle learned the building blocks of financial resilience, like saving for emergencies and creating a monthly budget.
Danielle had never learned the basics of personal finance before coming to Clarifi, but the Philadelphia mom was determined to build a better life for herself and her daughter. “I want to set an example for her and let her know that her mother can make it,” she said.
Danielle’s dream career involves helping people, so she started pursuing a degree in social work. She wanted to become a homeowner too, but before that, she needed to stabilize her finances. That’s when she came to Clarifi, where she learned how to save money, open a planner and create a monthly budget.
Through Clarifi’s expert counseling, Danielle learned the building blocks of financial resilience and saved $300 within just a few months.
“Clarifi was a stepping stool to helping me be financially stable,” she said.
Her counselor also connected her to an emergency savings match program that more than tripled her savings. She plans to use that $1,000 toward buying her first home.
Clarifi’s counseling was the “best leap of faith” Danielle said she had ever taken. “Without Clarifi, I wouldn’t have the information that helped me get to where I needed to be,” she said. “I found people who didn’t want me to fail.”
Now, she’s focusing on her path to homeownership and making a difference in her community.
“I want everyone to be financially stable,” Danielle said, echoing Clarifi’s vision. “No one left behind.”
