New beginnings, told by the people who lived them

"I am so grateful that we were able to be helped. I never qualify for anything because we both work, and it is just really hard sometimes."

"We just moved to Ohio from Florida and have no family here." With no one to help watch their two kids, NBI approved childcare assistance so both parents could keep working and catch up on bills.

"One month of rent help kept my kids in the same school district while I got back on my feet."

"They helped me finish my GED and connected me with job training. I finally feel like I'm moving forward."

"My car needed a repair I couldn't afford. NBI covered it in three days so I didn't miss a single shift."

"Having someone help me navigate childcare assistance paperwork was almost as valuable as the money itself."

"I never thought I'd ask for help. My case manager made it feel like a partnership, not a handout."
