Through the company’s Beyond Debt Now giveaway, clients’ lives are transformed with a huge financial leg up.
September, 2026 Howard, PA — Beyond Finance, the country’s financial wellness and debt consolidation leader, announced Megan and Ryan Rash as their latest Beyond Debt Now winners. Launched in 2022, the monthly giveaway is one of the ways Beyond Finance goes above and beyond to support its clients. Through the initiative, the company pays off a portion — or, as in Ryan’s case, the entirety — of a client’s remaining enrolled debt, delivering life-changing financial relief alongside its core services.
Megan, a disabled veteran, lives with her husband Ryan and their two children, Tessa and RJ. The family took on debt trying to make ends meet after her husband, who worked in landscaping and construction, underwent back surgery and was no longer able to work during recovery. With rising costs and a mortgage payment that climbed from $1,700 to $2,400 a month — Megan and Ryan’s bills were more than a little tight.
“We were surviving. We were definitely not thriving,” Megan said. “Everything just started to increase, and trying to maintain living got harder, and I couldn’t afford it on just my income. So, I was putting basic necessities on the credit card.”
Determined to find a real solution, Megan researched debt consolidation solutions thoroughly before choosing Beyond Finance. “I use Google as a library! I search through and do research,” she said. “Beyond Finance had great reviews — reviews that seemed like actual customers, not robotic ones.”
She and Ryan enrolled as co-clients with the company roughly a year ago, and said the transparency set Beyond Finance apart. Once their program began, their monthly payments were cut in half compared to what they’d been paying toward credit cards directly.
When Megan learned that she and Ryan had won the Beyond Debt Now giveaway, she said the news came as a total shock. “I broke down and started crying, because I’ve never had that!”
“Megan has spent her life in service — first to her country, and now to her family,” said Lou Antonelli, Chief Operating Officer at Beyond Finance. “She’s a disabled veteran caring for a husband recovering from major surgery and two kids, all while carrying that weight almost entirely on her own. She never stopped looking for a better way forward, and she found one. We’re proud to help her close this chapter and put her full focus back on her family.”
Now that the giveaway will eliminate the remainder of her enrolled debt, Megan says she’s looking forward to something she hasn’t had in a long time: room to breathe, and a little bit of joy. She’s planning a family trip to a local amusement park with her kids before the season ends.
Asked to sum up what Beyond Finance has meant for her family, Megan didn’t hesitate: “It’s changed me and my family’s life and taken a huge weight off of my shoulders.”
