FAIM - "Notes of Appreciation"

Read a sampling of letters & notes of appreciation we have received from present & past clients.

"I applied for and became enrolled in the program in May 2007.  My counselor has been very supportive and pleasant to know.  The Financial Literacy classes were very beneficial and informative.  I feel grateful to have been allowed to acept all that this program offers.  The money is being used for my education, to earn a degree and further my opportunities to support my family.  I am a single head-of-household, and will greatly appreciate this program for years to come."

Thank you,

Renee

"The FAIM program has really helped me and my family out.  I was able to take the educational course to enhance my life and my children's.  I look forward to class each session and I am excited about finishing my course."

"I attended the ACCAP FAIM Program and thought it was very imformative and enlightening, as well as fun and convenient.  I hope the program will continue."

Thank you,

Andrea

"This thanks is long overdue.  We have been in our new home now for three and a half months and are thoroughly enjoying it.  Kiersten has so much room to run and play.  It is almost as though we have a different child.  Things are going pretty good with finances and budgeting, too.  WE LEARNED A LOT FROM THE FAIM CLASSES! It still amazes me where the money was going.  We are maintaining all our bills and are still able to put a little away.  It's not much, but every little bit counts."

Sincerely,

Jill, Lloyd & Kiersten

"Thanks so much for all your help with our FAIM account.  We really do love our house.  It's the perfect fit for us - three bedrooms, one block from the parkway, great for biking & running, and going to the lakes with the kids.  God is good!"

"I am writing this letter of support to you to make you aware of the outstanding opportunities the FAIM program has given me.  Through the existence of the FAIM program and the hard work of our counselor, I have benefited from the Small Business and Homeownership programs that the FAIM program offers.  It is crucial that you have a clear understanding of the impact FAIM has had on me and continues to have on the many other individuals and families who have participated in the program.

The vitality of the FAIM program to me and these individuals and families opens the doors to new and exciting life, giving possibilities that only a program like FAIM can offer.  Please know that the funding that has kept the FAIM program going and able to provide these opportunities is greatly appreciated.

If it is at all within your funding priorities to keep a program such as FAIM that has had an impact on and change many lives, please consider it."

With warm regards,

"As a participant in FAIM, I would like to take this opportunity to give you some feedback about the program.  My husband and I started with FAIM approximately one year ago.  Things have gone very well with the program.  The financial literacy courses were a very thorough overview of personal finance.  The classes were interesting and very interactive.  The classes were very useful and had information about finance that I can use in my everyday life.  A very useful component of the classes was getting to see a copy of my credit report.  The classes taught the class how to fix credit reports and the importance of knowing what is on your credit report. 

I think the most powerful thing about the classes is that once you learn the information, it stays with you.  This is so important to all FAIM participants, so as they go forward they will make informed and good financial choices.  The classes taught a very positive way to think about money and spending.  Having interactions in the class was important because it had the effect of making people feel like they were not alone with their previous experiences with money. 

 The classes taught a whole new way of thinking about money and spending that allows people to build stable and successful financial futures. FAIM for my husband and I has been invaluable to help us get our future started.  We have a two year old daughter and we are so grateful to have this incredible opportunity for the sake of our entire family.  My husband works full time and attends college full time in the evenings. 

 Thanks to the FAIM program, we were able to get a computer.  This will be helpful for both of us trying to reach our goals.  I can't say how thankful I am for this opportunity.  I really wanted you to know how important I think this program is for people trying to build a stronger and financially successful future."

With sincerest thanks and appreciation,

Shannon

"Thank you for teaching the FAIM project.  You have helped me to become a home owner.  I appreciate all the hard work you have done.  May God bless you."
