I'm the first college grad in my family. I couldn't have done it without my Dad's job in footwear and help from Two Ten.
The hurricane hit three days ago. We still have no power and we've had a hard time getting groceries, gas and baby formula.
My daughter needs emergency surgery. It has to be done but insurance won't cover it all. We don't know what to do.
My car was stolen the day I was moving. Not only was it fully paid off already but all my kids' clothes and toys were in the back seat.
When my fiancée died suddenly I was in shock. Losing his income was another shock. I had to take out a loan just to pay funeral expenses.
