Sometimes, those who help others need help themselves.  That is what happened with Stacy*, a nurse who was laid off and suddenly found herself facing eviction.  She had always been one to help others and she was not comfortable asking for help for herself.  A one month payment assisted her in getting herself back on her feet while she awaited new employment.  She found herself volunteering in her free time, feeling renewed and refreshed and taking her unemployment as something to be challenged head on.  For Stacy* it was a new experience and one that she says has changed her life.
