At a lot of jobs, you don’t have something like this in your corner.

“I was in an accident in September and had to get the top of my left ring finger amputated. Insurance covered most of it, but between the ER visit, the hand specialist and physical therapy, I couldn’t afford to pay the rest of what was due. I am also a college student, so it became a real struggle to get all my bills paid on time. After I applied for help from the Employee in Crisis Fund, the process was really fast. I’m really grateful for the help. At a lot of jobs, you don’t have something like this in your corner. Life is just life and things come unexpectedly.”
