Jessica Schmidt- Managing Broker, Riggin & Company Real Estate
I have personal experience using Interfaith Housing Services to help me through a rough time in my personal life and I want to give back to United Way. By giving back, I hope I can support people in our community going through a rough time, just like myself.
Think about a time in your life when you were at rock bottom. Ever been there? I have. If you know me well, you watched it. Disgusted with living in the maggot infested, one bedroom apartment, I scraped all the funds I had to buy a house as a single mom. I worked 3 jobs to make ends meet. Through the help of the CASH program I was able to make repairs to my house and improve the value by nearly 5 times the investment that was supported by the CASH program repairs. As a result, I paid off all my credit cards and found a full time career to better suit my life as a mother. I am more than happy now to be able to give back to the program that supported me through the roughest time in my life.
