How Can I Get a Personal Emergency Loan with JFLA?**
I was behind in my rent. I would have had to put the amount onto a credit card with high interest. JFLA really helped me out! I only gave it four stars above because the 5th star would not let me select it. Thank you so very much for helping me in a rather desperate time of need. I didn’t think that there was help for someone with bad credit, but thanks to JFLA, I was able to pay the rent for my senior mother and myself, we live together. A million thanks! Really. <cite>Chris</cite>
Between inconsistent work during the pandemic and the need to offer care and assistance to my elderly parents, I fell into significant credit card debt. JFLA helped me pay off those loans so that I'm not losing an enormous amount of money on interest payments. Jewish Free Loan Association saved me from potentially serious, further financial difficulties, and that I am truly humbled and grateful for receiving their generosity.<cite>Matthew</cite>
I needed a loan to help pay rent and utilities until I could get an income increase from a second job I was starting. It helped me from getting eviction notices. I’m so grateful for your generosity at a time when I was in a financial hardship, waiting on child support and income increases. As a single mom, nothing is more important than making sure my kids have a safe home. I can’t thank JFLA enough for helping to ensure that safety for them.<cite>Terri</cite>
I needed a loan through my divorce process and job loss. It helped me survive during a horrible financial crisis when I had nowhere else to turn. I now have a well-paying job, my divorce is final, and the kids (19,20,21,22 & 29) and I are all doing much better- I’m trying to put back the pieces and rebuild myself. I’m eternally grateful for JFLA. I just want to say how very grateful I am to have received help at the worst possible time in my life. Separation, divorce with 4 teens still at home (initially) the situation was difficult and now I’m making my way to the other side. So many thanks.<cite>Bonnie</cite>
My paperwork wasn't processed correctly with the Los Angeles County Tax Assessors office. The parent to child tax transfer form was not processed which threw off everything. Once restored things are getting better. My children and I greatly appreciate JFLA for giving us the opportunity to get out of a financial struggle. JFLA saved us from losing our home. There was no way I could pay $14,000 in taxes but the $4000 allowed me to pay the mortgage for 4 months until the problem was resolved.<cite>Char</cite>
