Lori joined the program on a recommendation from a friend with the goal of saving for a new bed. For every dollar she saved, she received three dollars from SEED. Throughout the program, Lori was not only able to grow her savings but also grow her knowledge of finances and services offered by banks.
“I learned how to keep track of my assets and debts, I learned about things like RRSPs, and I learned how to check my credit score which was a big one for me.”
Having finished the program and successfully reaching her goal of purchasing a new bed, Lori wants to continue to find people and organizations to network with to help both herself and her community.
“It’s made me think about how I can make more connections with people and organizations like SEED and network more. I don’t feel as stuck as I did. There are things I can do and places I can go to ask for help now. The program did a lot of good for me and I would encourage anyone who needs an extra boost to take it.”
