My Nonprofit Reviews

I taught a class to the residents of Rebekah's House on money management. Two weeks before the class the residents were asked to keep a log of their daily expenses. The evening of the class we reviewed the logs and developed a plan for better money management. Most of the residents that spend time at Rebekah's House have fines and court costs that need to be paid. One lady had a few thousand dollars in costs. She was overwhelmed by the amount and had decided in her mind that she was unable to pay the amount. She just knew her Dad would pay it for her. That is counterproductive to the recovery process. We developed a plan and budget an amount weekly to cover these expenses. I am pleased to say that she paid off her fines and court costs, is no longer on probation because of that and is now living on her own and is still sober after 2 years. I think Rebekah's House is a great place for women to make that transition from first becoming sober or clean of drugs and alcohol to independence. Rebekah's House helps the women learn the skills they need to make it on their own.
