Meet Donna! At nearly 70, Donna is proof that it’s never too late to take control of your finances. Through Thrive, she’s learned about credit, SMART goals, and the importance of financial planning—things she wishes she had known earlier in life. “I didn’t plan well when I had a great state job. I was afraid to ask questions and didn’t understand my benefits. I even attended a webinar but never followed through because I was too overwhelmed.” Donna first learned about Thrive years ago when she faced tax challenges, and today, she’s grateful for the continued support. “Even at my age, these lessons are incredibly valuable. It’s nice to have Thrive in the community—it makes a real difference.” Thrive continues to empower individuals like Donna by providing accessible financial education and support. Thank you to our Thrive partners PeoplesBank and Grodsky for helping make this program a reality.
