An Ariva Client Story

Alexandra came to our financial counseling team at Ariva during a time of transition and uncertainty. She needed tangible, practical advice from people with the knowledge and expertise to help build her confidence and offer her tools to move forward. Thankfully, that’s exactly what she found.

“I decided to work with Ariva because from the very first moment, they helped me feel empowered and more confident,” Alexandra shares. “They offered me useful financial information about getting out of debt and building credit, and concrete guidelines regarding filing my taxes. And they always helped me in an accessible and warm way.”

First, our financial counselors shared a detailed list of places where Alexandra could apply for jobs and access city resources. They also assisted her with paying off her tax debts, followed up with IRS letters, and helped her with understanding a jury service letter. We are grateful that Alexandra knew she could trust us with questions related to her finances and everyday issues. 

Additionally, Alexandra highlights the deepest learning that this experience left her with: that it is indeed possible to look for solutions when you find the right people to assist you. 

“Meeting the Ariva team was a blessing,” she says. “They made me see that there are still open doors and that all was not lost.”

Today, Alexandra plans to put into practice the free financial help she received. Her goal is to create and commit to a budget and start saving. She knows that the tools are in her hands and that she is no longer alone. 

“For me, it has been a rewarding experience, and I always recommend the team at Ariva. They are quality people, exceptional human beings. People need that trust and sincere help to keep moving forward.”

With determination and a positive attitude, Alexandra continues on her financial path, knowing that she has a community that believes in her and walks alongside her at Ariva.
