Need More Money?

Quite often people live paycheck to paycheck, and when there is an extra expense that they were not planning on, they find themselves short on the money that was to go to their mortgage or auto loan. Sometimes it is just a fact that perhaps they need something or would really like to buy something that would truly make their life easier or happier, but again, they would not be able to make the auto loan should they make the choice to buy it.

These people need just a little bit more money, so that they can buy what they need. But what happens when you are on a fixed income or social assistance and cannot make the auto loan, or even the food bill? There are places that can help, such as A Place Called Home.

A Place Called Home is run by a woman called Jennifer Lopinski, and her job is to make sure that her clients are getting their absolute needs met. They are located in the City of Kawartha Lakes, and Lopinski says that although the majority of her clients are at or under poverty level, their services will help anyone to comes to them.

Some people come to her for budgeting assistance, some come to find out how to make more money. They help them find affordable housing and help them with utilities. They have programs to help with rent and food banks, and the financial support program can help them if they are behind on their mortgage, rent, or auto loans, etc. They say that they call themselves a homeless prevention program, because if they can help people deal with their money, they can keep them in a home.
