Sometimes one conversation can change everything

When Lucy came to MBST, she was overwhelmed by debt and worried she wouldn't have enough money to make her next payment.

She felt like she was running out of options.

Financial mentor Noel sat down with Lucy and worked through her finances with her, one step at a time.

With financial mentoring and support from Tātou Social Supermarket, Lucy was able to make practical changes, meet her family's immediate needs and begin taking control of her finances again.

Today, Lucy has something that once felt out of reach — hope.
