Irene came into my life and brought God’s love and light with her. 

Holly, now debt free through CAP 

Holly’s story

Caring for her three-year-old son alone meant working fewer hours, with a stack of debt left by her former partner, and worsening health due to stress. Holly was worried she’d have to bring her newborn son up under the shadow of a mountain of letters from creditors.

Holly reached out to CAP in hopes of a fresh start for her son. When she met Irene, a CAP Debt Coach from her local church, Holly’s life changed.

Imagine being in a room that’s pitch black,’ Holly says. The doors are shut. The curtains are closed. Then someone opens the door and there’s a light. There’s a way out of that darkness. That was Irene.’

Irene helped Holly sort through all her debt letters, with expert support from the professional Debt Advisors at CAP’s head office. She visited Holly, prayed for her, kept in touch over the phone, and made sure she had all the support she needed as she worked her way out of debt.

Now, Holly is finally able to say: I’m debt free.’ She even took all her old debt letters and used them to create some beautiful angel wings, representing the love and light Irene continued to show her. She felt like an angel’, Holly says.

Now things look very different for Holly.

When all the stress was taken away, it was amazing. I’ve been able to focus on joy with my son and doing things with him, rather than worrying. Debt has a massive effect on everything, and as my mental health got better, my physical health got better too.’

With the rising cost of living, Holly still faces challenges. But this time, she has a support network who are there for her, including Irene, who has become a friend.

With more and more people like Holly facing rising costs, debt and financial worry, it’s going to take every single one of us to fight back.
