Heidi Press has spent her career as a
media and communications specialist,
working for newspapers, non-profits
and in the healthcare arena. Like many
of today's Hebrew Free Loan appli-
cants, Heidi is a professional who
never thought life's events would put
her in need of financial help.
"I had all of these things happen —
my mom died, I had a serious health
issue, then a car accident left me
unable to work. Following that my dad
passed away, and my benefits and
insurance ran out," Heidi says. "These
were rough times." Heidi decided to
turn to Hebrew Free Loan. 'The
agency helped me get my head above
water," she says.
Today, Heidi says she's found the best
job of her life and she's grateful HFL
lent her the money to help get her life
back together. 'The agency treated me
with respect and dignity," Heidi says.
"It gave me help and hope."
