Education Loan Recipient – Rebecca

Helping Dreams Come True with an Education Loan

Hebrew Free Loan of San Francisco helped Rebecca defray her costs for her undergraduate degree, so she was thrilled to learn there was a Hebrew Free Loan of San Diego to potentially assist with her post-graduate work. Her HFL San Francisco loan has long been paid off and Rebecca is redefining herself with a career move and returning to school for a post-graduate degree. She relocated to San Diego pre-pandemic but was laid off due to Covid in March of 2020. It is important for Rebecca to find a career that she is passionate about and she now has the opportunity to work through what she really wants to focus her life on. This down time allowed Rebecca to reevaluate her life goals and helped her realize that what she really wants to do is work as a clinical licensed therapist helping people. This loan will allow her to position herself for success as she will be required to do clinical hours, and maintaining a full-time job during this program would be very difficult. Rebecca is diligent about her spending habits, and has multiple spreadsheets outlining different income scenarios, including her payback to HFLSD. “This education loan will allow me to be dedicated to my career path and focus on my goals. Working with HFLSD was stress-free and gives me the cushion I need to position myself for a successful post-graduate journey. I cannot be more grateful for this experience!”
