Since 2014, the San Diego Financial Literacy Center has awarded more than $75,000 to more than 25 U.S. servicemembers and their families as part of the SDFLC's Boost for Our Heroes program.
For those who may be unfamiliar with the SDFLC, Boost for Our Heroes is a financial assistance and education program that benefits active, transitioning, and veteran military members and their families. The program provides a variety of workshops, outreach efforts, and one-on-one consultations to help men and women who are experiencing financial hardships become financially stable.
Joining us on the show is Al Lejarde, a past recipient of the SDFLC's Boost for Our Heroes award. Al joins us to share how he learned about the financial award, his motivation to apply, and how his family's life has changed since winning the award. Al also shares ways he's helping his fellow service members through his work with nonprofit organizations including Habitat for Humanity, Courage to Call, and Easter Seals.
