introduction
QUESTIONNAIRE
1. I helped a day care center serving local children obtain a discharge in bankruptcy in the midst of a pandemic, saving not only the business but also making sure that the parents and kids had stability in these troubled times. 2. I helped an elderly woman who was in debt due to a divorce obtain a fresh start. She was so grateful for our services that she sent me and all of the staff beautiful, hand-written thank you cards.
