M.B.
A resident of Mount Vernon for 7 years, M.B. is a mother of four and grandmother to a grandson who adores her children. “The Mount Vernon Level Up program has impacted my life in such a profound way this last year. It has taught me things such as better money management (savings), budgeting, and how to make wiser financial decisions. I was able to make Christmas ‘The best one yet’ for my children and grandson and I was able to have two wonderful holiday meals (Thanksgiving a Christmas) with my family. The program was able to relieve some stress when it came to paying for last-minute expenses as well. I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to participate in this program's pilot year and thank all involved in this wonderful opportunity!”
