BACK-ON-YOUR-FEET BUDGETING

Helping Survivors To Become Financially Empowered

According to The Allstate Foundation, 99% of all domestic violence cases include financial abuse. Emotional, social and financial obstacles make it extremely difficult to walk away from an abusive relationship. 

The O’Tahirah Foundation, Inc is helping provide the support needed to rebuild the lives of domestic violence victims, with our BACK ON YOUR FEET downloadable budgeting worksheet. Becoming financially empowered means learning how to budget, save, invest, and safely plan for the future.
