“Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Free debt advice was the best call I made. They dealt with the creditors for me. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”

“Cuando empecé con las facturas médicas, me sentí sola y asustada. Lo que me ayudó fue hablar con otras personas que ya habían pasado por eso. No tienes que saberlo todo de golpe. Pregunta, llama, pide ayuda. A veces las cosas se arreglan con el tiempo y con paciencia. No estás sola en esto, aunque a veces lo parezca.”
