Each year, SCES assists dozens of clients through Money Management, a program that offers confidential financial services, like bill paying and budgeting, that help keep people housed and tied to the communities they love.
One client is Arthur, who always shared a close bond with his brother and Representative Payee, Thomas*. Thomas helped Arthur manage his monthly Social Security income and ensured rent for their shared apartment was paid on time each month.
When Thomas passed earlier this year, Arthur suddenly had no way to access his funds or pay the rent. While grieving, he struggled to afford groceries, and his landlord soon began eviction proceedings.
Thankfully, Arthur was referred to SCES' Money Management program. Our staff provided grocery gift cards, expedited his Social Security Rep. Payee application, and connected him with rental assistance resources. Arthur's eviction case was dismissed and he now has access to in-home supports, including meal preparation and laundry services.
With your support, we can continue providing Money Management services to people just like Arthur. Your gift will go even further this fall, thanks to a generous match from East Cambridge Savings Bank!
