A 28-year-old blind woman who needs software to enable her computer to speak and a 91-year-old widow who can only afford one meal per day were recipients of a $1,000 Gift of Change award from an Irvine debt settlement company.
The two recipients were among 10 people who received the checks from Nationwide Support Services, Inc., one of the oldest and largest debt settlement processing companies. Other
recipients include families having difficulty feeding their children, paying medical bills or making a deposit on an apartment. The purpose of the program is to assist worthy families who
are struggling to meet financial obligations.
These individuals were nominated by our employees and then selected by a committee that reviewed each family'ss needs, said Joanne Garneau, the firm'ss president. I understand the
feelings of stress and worry their financial situations can cause. At one time in my life, I worried about how to pay my bills. That'ss why our company motto 'sWe Change People'ss Lives's
is so important to us.
One of the recipients, Heather Handing, is a Huntington Beach single mother working to support her two daughters. I was extremely surprised and blessed to be considered. This gift enables
me to provide clothes for my girls, she said.
Gloria Camareno of Santa Ana works for minimum wage and struggles to pay bills and feed her children. This gift will help provide some extra meals for us, she said.
