Ruth Crawford - From full of stress to way more living to do

“After the death of my daughter and then the death of my husband a year later I managed to get myself into all sorts of financial trouble. I started using a credit card and didn’t realise the danger of the high interest rates. I rang up debts close to $10,000 and my financial state soon started to affect my health.

I wasn’t able to sleep most nights, was suffering with headaches and the stress was causing heart palpitations. As my health deteriorated I also started to worry about my future and that I couldn’t get out of this mess with my finances.

That was, until I contacted CAP. They set a budget, worked with me to get my debts cleared, told me about the wonderful love of Jesus and now I’m a new woman! I’m debt free, I’ve given my life to Jesus, my finances are under control and my health has improved as a result.

Where I had been full of stress and a very worried person before, now with the weight of my finances lifted I realize that I have a lot of living still to do!!!

CAP is better than fantastic!!! I honestly don’t know where I’d be without the help from everyone at Christians Against Poverty.
