Easter is meant to be a time to celebrate newness, this is even reflected in nature — the flowers are budding, the sun is shining brighter and the cold is getting milder.
However, recently retired debt coach Steve sees debt trapping more people who are vulnerable and already facing serious battles that are pushing them further to the edge.
Steve has supported people like Jon, who found himself deep in debt, battling addiction, health and serious trauma. He was living in his van for years hoping all the pain would just go away. Coupled with a close family member also battling physical health concerns, Jon began to live a life numb from the hurt of it all. Jon masked it all for years with addiction, but then chaos erupted.
When you reach out, you build a bridge, they walk across and see Christians can help them.
Steve, former debt coach
Debt is merely a symptom, there are causes that take people into devastating debt. The heart of God is for no one to perish through life’s circumstances alone but to find themselves a community that reaches out in the spirit of love, compassion and a sense of urgency.
Please would you help people like Jon get the enhanced support they need?
More and more people are extremely vulnerable as they battle debt coupled with illness and isolation. Many are experiencing homelessness and deep trauma that makes the journey towards becoming debt free alone increasingly difficult.
Vulnerable people need you. By sowing into the most vulnerable families and individuals across our nation, you are helping to fight back against the pain of debt and poverty.
Jon was able to not only clear his debts but overcome trauma, stress, addiction and homelessness with his debt coach Steve thanks to the enhanced support CAP offers through your generous giving. CAP helps tackle more than just debt. We serve communities face-to-face to deal with the causes of debt for long-term recovery.
You might never know how much your help matters… how much you can help people in desperate need.
Jon
Today many are finding life with debt and poverty so hard, but with your support you can make their tomorrow a lot easier.
Will you step in, by giving a gift this Easter?
