Meet Tia: A Travel Consultant from Tennessee
Tia’s challenges began during the pandemic. She lost her job for 14 months and had an emergency hip replacement surgery that cost her $10,000 out of pocket. To make matters worse, her beloved dog had a respiratory illness that added $3,000 more. It was a lot to manage and she went into debt taking care of everything.
It started around COVID. I lost my job for 14 months, had an emergency surgery and a hip replacement to the tune of about 10k out of pocket, then my precious dog got some respiratory illness that cost me $3k.
