One thing about grief is that while you’re still healing, the world keeps spinning. When my fiance’s mom died, the bills didn’t stop, if anything there were more of them. While my family was trying to navigate our new normal, we were forced with the harsh reality that the world doesn’t wait for you to catch up.
So as the funeral expenses were racking up,
all I could do was hope for a helping hand. That’s when Empower told me I was qualified for a $250 Cash Advance. I know $250 might not be a lot to some, but when you don’t have money at your disposal, your view of money changes. I was taught to take care of the ones you love, but what happens when it’s impossible all because of money?

The world makes us feel guilty for not being rich. I didn’t feel shame or guilt accepting the money from Empower. To be honest, it was a relief when they didn’t ask me why. Instead they made me feel empowered to say, “more money please.”
