Freeing people from the chains of debt

I'm Nina, and I'm one of 11 people who volunteer for Money Matters Leicester. Why? Because we are passionate about living out the Christian life by helping those in debt. We've seen the stress, the shame, the guilt, the despair. We've heard about the struggle to put food on the table, the health breakdowns, the su***de attempts. So often our clients have been worn down by the constant struggle just to keep going. Every day they are bombarded with demands for payments they can't afford from strident creditors who seem to think it's fine to treat them not as people, but as objects that it's their job to harrass until they pay up in desperation, often resorting to high cost credit to do so. So, it's a huge relief to our clients when they realise that we help anybody and treat everybody with respect.

One couple asked ‘Why are you helping us?’client said 'You were the first people who listened to me'. Another said 'You did not see the colour of our skins, or where we came from - you saw us as people' and 'You are our angels!'.
