Thank you so much, Betsy, for all your help with information for my Public Service Loan Forgiveness! Your Reddit advice was so helpful as I navigated getting forgiveness. I had 56k forgiven- after regular payments since 2006, my loan balance was ONLY $670 less than the amount of my original loan!

Your time and effort put in on the PSLF reddit is much appreciated and invaluable!! My loans were forgiven in January 2022 and it is an amazing burden lifted.

I was recently fortunate to benefit from the PSLF Waiver, as it took into account work at an eligible agency, where I had worked for years, prior to consolidation. I was so surprised and relieved to receive the letter that my loans have been forgiven! This journey would experienced more obstacles and stress if it weren’t for Betsy and the moderators on PSLF Reddit. They have been so instrumental and supportive to all us borrowers. Betsy, in particular, has been such a wealth of knowledge that I have witnessed some Redditors address her as “queen.” I am in full agreement! Thank you for all you do for us, and please accept my donation to help you continue to support others attaining forgiveness.
