I saw what Betsy did for a redditor! How amazing that we have people like that who are so knowledgeable and willing to help. Super happy to be able to support this organization.

I saw on reddit that Betsy helped the retired teacher with the$10k loan that turned into a million dollar debt. I don't understand how that was legal for them to charge that even after she had garnishments from her wages for 10 years and she still owed a million dollars?! From a 10k loan?! I can't believe the government allows that. Thank you Betsy for helping her.

Our family has very large student loans, which we're extremely lucky to be able to manage. In figuring out how all of this works and our options, we've watched Betsy on /r/studentloans help literally hundreds of people at no charge, including the woman where she recently saved an impossible to pay bill of almost $1 million. Your work is really, no exaggeration, changing people's lives and in some cases, possibly even saving them. Thank you for all of your incredible work!

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!

Pat's prompt and detailed responses cleared up my confusion on PSLF and I'm so grateful to understand how to move forward on possible forgiveness of my loans after I had given up hope. Thank you!
