Juan's Story
Juan Guzman signed up for the financial literacy course with his wife and says that what he learned has changed his life. He found the lesson about credit and credit repair interesting and signed up for a credit report. Juan also learned important budgeting skills. For example, he walks more instead of driving to save money on gas and his family eats out less. Juan says that small changes like these have saved his family money while also helping them to stay healthier. “I have encouraged many of my friends to join this program and others offered at Magnolia Place. I have also shared with my co-workers about their right to have three free credit checks each year and how to avoid credit scams,” said Juan. Juan was also chosen by his workshop facilitator to become a parent leader because of his regular attendance and genuine interest in the class. As a parent leader, he helped distribute materials, call parents to remind them about the next class and interpret course material for other participants. “The financial literacy workshop really helped me and my family. Other families could benefit from this class and really enrich their lives and our community. I plan to take another class but it’s hard to decide as they are all very interesting.

More people need to know about all of these great programs and services that are available to them at Magnolia Place,” said Juan. Juan’s story is a wonderful illustration of how Magnolia Place brings together expert partners, such as Powerful Families, with families who desire to better themselves but didn’t know where to go until now. The financial literacy workshop gave Juan a wealth of knowledge that not only continues to benefit his family in positive ways but others as well. He’s also become a great recruiter for us as he encourages parents to take advantage of what Magnolia Place has to offer.
