“I always tell people, ‘It’s a hard thing to even decide to come to financial counseling, coming here was a huge first step in the right direction.’”

Don, an Akron FEC Counselor, helps his clients set goals and supports them along the way toward achieving those goals.

Regardless of their starting points, Yannek sees clients make improvements, sometimes as soon as their first counseling session.
