Real People. Real Results.

  • Mary, 66, was denied help with medical bills twice due to income issues. After a financial counseling session at the Financial Empowerment Center (FEC), Mary was referred to the Tennessee Justice Center (TJC) and they analyzed her income and helped her qualify and apply for a Medicare Savings Program. Now, Mary saves $250 a month on co-pays and medical expenses!

  • Fannie, 79, attended a RESET presentation and reached out for help stretching her monthly income. After a Benefits Checkup, she worked with a Financial Empowerment Center (FEC) counselor to review her income, spending, and unnecessary charges. By identifying unneeded services, Fannie saved over $70 a month.

  • Anita, 82, reached out to FiftyForward for help with home repairs due to limited income and was referred to RESET for SNAP benefits. With assistance from FiftyForward's care manager, she applied for SNAP and received approval for $100 a month starting in September 2024.
