What one new business owner has to say:
In 2005 my wife and I were close to losing
everything. We struggled together and gave
up a lot. In the past 8 months we have
reached incredible goals and seem to be
back on track. Through saving in an IDA I am
now developing a business that prepares
youth leaving the probation and parole
system to work in the construction trades, as
well as completing their high school
equivalency (GED). – Paul Pascarella,

Testimony of a graduate:
Regarding financial literacy
education: this must continue! I
learned so much and can see
just how important that younger
people get that early education
about money management.
Please expand financial literacy
directly into the public school!!!!

| Life changing education: I am a 61 year old disabled single woman. I was able to take part in IDAs here in Sierra County. I purchased a computer, went to school on line and received a certificate in gerontology. I am now working for a local nursing home. This part-time job now allows me to qualify for Medicaid, which had been a major financial goal for me. |
| The Safety of a home: My family and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in the program. The money that I receive from this account will go towards purchasing a home and will give my family stability... Moving from our small trailer to a safe neighborhood gives a chance to be secure.
