After suffering a stroke and being unable to work, Raye struggled with financial stress and uncertainty. A chance radio ad led her to The Village’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, where she found not only practical help but emotional relief. Today, she’s no longer overwhelmed by stress from the changes in her financial situation because she knows she’s not alone. In fact, she can’t wait to do her taxes with VITA again.
When I had a stroke and found out I couldn't work anymore, I went from being a therapist to needing therapy. The last thing on my mind was taxes. Getting help from VITA helped me feel so much better.
