My Nonprofit Reviews

When our kids were between the ages of five and fifteen, we owned a home and everything was going along just fine, until I was injured and couldn't retain my line of work. I could no longer provide for my family.

I took a management position at a local McDonald’s but couldn’t make enough money to pay our bills and before we knew it we were losing everything...our home, car, and every sense of stability. We relied on family and friends for periods of time, but it was hard raising four kids in someone else’s house. Life felt super overwhelming.

Luckily, the St. Vrain Valley School District connected us to The Inn Between of Longmont and we moved into an affordable three-bedroom apartment. They helped us access classes to learn better money management and work to repair our credit.

Our family spent two years and three months living at The Inn until we could pay off a lot of our debt and significantly repair our credit. My wife's score increased by 200 points within a year and a half! We used The Inn’s Matched Savings fund to accumulate enough money to have a rental deposit to move into a apartment in the community.

A while after we moved out, I got a job as a maintenance technician and my wife for the school district. Three of the kids have graduated from high school and are working and attending community college. The “baby”, a freshman at Skyline High School, is a stellar softball player and will go to a college on an athletic scholarship!

The Inn Between helped us rebuild our financial well being. We’ve come a long way. It's been a hard road, but we were able to get back on our feet. The affordability of The Inn Between was definitely a big factor and their financial classes helped a lot. I can still go to them for guidance that helps us keep moving ahead. In a few months, we will be ready to buy a home again!”
