One couple’s journey to financial relief

Daniel and Sarah, parents of three children in Manitoba, had avoided filing taxes for nine years. The couple had been struggling. Not only had an injury left Daniel unable to work for several years, but their debt was growing. They owed over $100,000 to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

But relief was on its way—Daniel and Sarah were able to access a service that would change everything.
