I am gladly donating to this organization. Betsy and all her coworkers are A+ people. They helped me get student loan forgiveness with the PSLF program. I cannot say enough about the encouragement and help I received, and it was free. I would love to donate more if I could. These people are the BEST at what they do! I love them!

Stephanie Lezotte | $100

Thank you for your unwavering patience and attention to r/PSLF! My loans aren’t forgiven yet, just waiting on ACS months. I saved enough during the COVID pause to be able to pay off my small balance when it ended. However, with the waiver, I feel confident enough to re-allocate that money to worthy causes like TISLA…and replacing my leaking roof.

This is to commemorate the anniversary of one of the best days of my life - when I got my loans forgiven thanks to TISLA and Betsy's help! I'm now able to support my elderly mother and save for retirement. Thank you!

Betsy--thank you for all your time and effort on r/PSLF. I'm several years away from forgiveness, and it makes me feel better knowing you and your team are out there working on our behalf while my qualifying payments add up. You and your team are appreciated! (Also, thank you for setting up the recurring donation option!)

You guys rock! Your reddit thread on the limited PSLF waiver kept me sane while waiting for forgiveness.

Thank you your support on this topic and helping borrowers. Because of Betsy and her assistance on reddit.com/r/PSLF/ I had a guide through this long process.
