When I was referred to Sue Grubac, 4 Pillars Debt Relief Specialist, initially it felt like an answer to my prayers. I had been struggling for years with what I could only describe as a hopeless place in regards to my financial state of affairs. Always stressed and trying to figure out how I would pay my way out of the mess I had created. Not to say that it was something I went out and said I'm gonna have all this debt. Lol But life took some really unexpected turns and I found myself struggling and striving to get by as a single mom to 3 young boys under the age of 10, while my husband was away attending a 2-year drug and alcohol program at a rehab center on the mainland. This weighed on me in many, many ways mentally, emotionally, and physically. The added stress to pay off debt and always coming up short money each month was a constant reminder that I was a sinking ship. Everyday trying to stay afloat for just one more day and ignoring the phone constantly ringing with creditors calling or letters in the mail felt never ending. Until a friend from church told me about Sue Grubac of 4 Pillars. He said he had a friend who could help me and possibly bring some relief to my situation if I was open to meeting with her. That I most definitely was at this point in my life. I was wanting a solution and suggestions on what I could do to have a fresh start. I was so done and tired of living the way I had been for the last 5 years. So I called Sue and arranged a time to meet. Once we met and went over everything I knew that a consumer proposal was the way out and a fresh new start for me. It was the new beginning I was looking for. Once the ball was rolling everything fell into place and then the heavy lifting was done my life became easier to manage with all the stress of money alleviated to a more practical payment plan in place as to what I could afford. And to still have some fun money left over at the end of the month to go out and play or have a treat with my boys. Something we didn't get to do very often. Sue and her team really gave me back hope. They helped me to be able to manage my debt and budget my money in a healthy environment without the stress of creditors. To live in fear on a constant daily basis is no way to live at all and this is what I was doing until I worked with Sue Grubac and her fabulous team at 4 Pillars. I am forever grateful and thankful not only to Sue along with her team, but to my very kind and loving friend who took the time to hear my needs in an adverse time in my life. He introduced me to Sue and offered me a solution, a workable one. My life has now changed tenfold in relationship to money and my financial affairs. I am living with less stress and more hope each day because of 4 Pillars. It's a process to go through which brings up a lot of the past trauma of how you got into the mess you're in the first place but it's an opportunity to bring healing to the past mistakes and decisions you've made. In the end, it is so worth it because you feel the burden being lifted from you like the light has been shed on the darkness of all your struggles. Revealing a new beginning filled with hope. A chance at having freedom and a happy healthy financial life. In which you have now learned skills to manage and stay in control of your financial affairs instead of them running you. Thank you 4 Pillars for all your support and help to bring back hope and a new fresh start for me and my family. read more
