Justin had a hard time managing his money on his own. He would spend all of his money all at once, which caused him to be late on his bills. He was in constant stress and felt unstable.
That all changed when Justin connected with Goodwill’s Representative Payee Services program. With the support he received, he finally had structure and guidance around managing his money. His Payee helped make sure his bills were paid on time, which meant Justin was not stressing anymore about falling behind. On top of that, Justin was still able to receive spending money each week, and he even learned how to budget that money wisely.
“Life has given me peace of mind knowing that my bills are getting paid on time,” Justin said. When asked what life would be like without the help of his Goodwill Payee, his answer was simple and honest: “Not good.”
Sometimes, just having the right support can completely change someone’s life. Justin was able to turn his uncertainty into stability and find the confidence to move towards a more organized and stress-free life.
