The Labus Family
Our Story
My husband died by suicide in August 2021. Outside of the devastating emotional effects, this event has catapulted me into great financial stress. I am approximately $200,000 in debt with supporting my 3 children with college, therapy, and general life needs. I own a small business which I am trying very hard to keep afloat as I also work full time and seek out any additional financial opportunities I can. There have been so many stumbles and struggles in these last 5 years. I truly feel that I am only now beginning to function beyond survival.
My youngest daughter has one year of college left which will be close to $25,000 for the year even after the Pell Grant and a few small scholarships she earned. I can not qualify for loans and I have very little credit availability but I am determined to see her graduate. Any help I am given is so appreciated and will help me see this goal to fruition. And I will find a way to pay it forward.
