Samantha & Max

Samantha and Max are a married couple with four children. During the pandemic, Max lost his income and medical bills were piling up for their infant daughter born with a heart condition.

The guaranteed income allowed them to feel less stressed about medical bills, take a training program that enabled Samantha to secure a new job, and also fix their daughter’s bike.

“What I have received from the program is the ability to be more open hearted, whether that’s about taking care of myself or taking care of my family,” said Samantha. “Or even just being more thoughtful about the community and realizing that as my own tensions unwind, it allows you to give that grace to others too.”
