Sarah’s First Set of Wheels!

January 13, 2016 by FAAZWebII Leave a Comment

Opp Pass_Sarah DunawaySarah’s life was changed forever with the support of Opportunity Passport™! As a student and new mother, Sarah knew having a car would be incredibly helpful in taking care of her new born and maintaining her status as a student. When she first heard Opportunity Passport™ could help her purchase a car she was excited!

 “I have a 3 month old and having a vehicle would help me take care of him and make commuting in general easier.”

Opportunity Passport™ provided Sarah with essential financial education on saving money and managing a budget as well as one-on-one coaching to help her purchase an asset.

Working with Opportunity Passport™ Sarah saved $2,000 and the program matched her savings for a total of $4,000. And guess what she did with her savings? She purchased her first vehicle!

“It helps me to have independence. My son is sick right now and having a vehicle makes it easier to take him to his doctor appointments.”

Sarah is saving and considering what her next asset purchase will be. Thanks to Opportunity Passport™ she has a better understanding of how to budget for her next purchase.

Sponsor a path today and support a young adult like Sarah in purchasing a life changing asset!
