Client Story

As told by Debt coach

Adam* was not diagnosed with severe dyslexia until later in life. He never learned to read or write and was acquainted with many forms of deprivation in childhood. Following marriage breakdown after suffering repeated financial abuse from his former partner, Adam moved to the local area and contacted Ely & District CAP. Adam suffers from anxiety and depression as well as chronic physical pain. .

Despite these setbacks, from our first meeting Adam was warm, welcoming and open to the process of becoming debt free with CAP. Because CAP offers a unique face to face process, we were able to help him through the forms required to set up a DRO (debt relief order). This meant that Adam no longer faced the anxiety and concern that calls and letters from creditors bring and that there was a budget and a way forward that he could work with to organise his finances. 

 

It has been great to work and pray with Adam through the CAP process and most of all to be able to introduce him to many more friends from our church. Nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing Adam's smile after a service and being able to know he is cared for by our church community. Adam still faces many challenges, but perhaps the greatest thing that has changed is that he knows he doesn’t face them alone.
