When Sophia transitioned out of the Navy, she decided to pursue a degree full-time so that she could increase her earning potential and advance her career. After enrolling her children in daycare, her family soon found that living on a single income was unsustainable; the cost of childcare off-base was equal to their rent. Sophia and her husband knew they needed to make changes to their financial situation, but they didn’t know where to start. Just when Sophia feared she may have to postpone her education, she learned about FFWW’s programs and applied.
“Childcare is just as much as our rent, and we have two kids under two. With the childcare assistance, I can pursue college full-time, and my husband has peace of mind knowing that the financial burden is not all on him. Because of the financial wellness programs, we have healthier discussions and decisions about finances rather than just hoping that our bank account has enough to get by for the month.”
Sophia not only received the childcare assistance she needed but also benefited from professional development and financial literacy courses. The vital programs at FFWW have empowered her to pursue her education, eased the financial stress on her family, and fostered a healthier approach to managing their finances. Today, they are no longer just getting by- they are building a more secure and hopeful future.
