Raya

Raya is a single mother to one daughter and a lifelong Atlantan. When Raya applied for the IMPACT program, she was working but still struggling to keep up with her bills and had to borrow funds from family and friends.

Now that Raya has received these funds, she feels like she can take care of her daughter and pay bills. When her daughter wants to go to a movie every once and a while or wants a new pair of shoes, she’s able to get them for her. Without this program, she would have to continue borrowing funds from others and be overwhelmed.

“My biggest bill is my rent, and this extra money has been a big help, it comes right on time to assist me with that payment. My long-term goals are to improve my credit and purchase a home, receiving these payments has motivated me for homeownership.”
