My name is Valentina Lopez.  I recently completed a 90 Day Program for Drug & Alcohol Treatment and because of this, I have been out of work.  About 3.5 months ago, I took a loan out to pay for this treatment and decided to figure out how I would repay it after I got better.  I know now that "getting better" is  lifelong process, but I am in a much better headspace now than where I was mentally 4 months ago.  I'm still trying to get back on my feet financially and do plan on working full time at some point (hopefully soon), but in the meantime, I could use help in making these loan payments each month!  My goal is to raise the money to pay the entire loan back by the end of 2019, if not sooner!  I would love to be completely debt and stress free, but regardless, I'd prefer to be sober with debt than still in my active addiction with no debt ANYTIME! I'm just glad I had enough sense to make the choice to get help at the point I did because I realize now how *priceless* my life is and if I have to live with this loan hanging over my head, then so be it - at least I'm alive!  Thanks for helping out, I deeply appreciate it!
