Peggy and Howard
“Being in debt is scary. But from the moment we talked to Freedom, the fear went away...They treat you like family, and they do everything they say they’re going to do.”

Peggy and Howard Powell both enrolled in the Freedom Financial Network program at different times. Howard completed his program several years ago, while Peggy chose to enroll in 2019–mainly because she saw first–hand how much it helped Howard.
