Meet William T.

William is a devoted single father who grew up in a very challenging home environment. As the oldest of three, with no father figure and a mother struggling with addiction, he stepped up to make sure his younger siblings got to school and had enough to eat. Out of those early responsibilities grew his passion for cooking.

Over the years, William worked as a cook and even created his own brand of seasoning, which was featured at the restaurant where he worked for several years. When unfortunate circumstances required William to move on from that restaurant, Givingmas helped him secure a new full time chef position with benefits. He continued to grow, and today he has launched a new career with Berrett Pest Control, where he proudly earned his exterminator’s license. He is working full time with benefits.

When William first joined the Givingmas family, his goals were clear: learn about credit repair and entrepreneurship, secure a full-time career with advancement opportunities, and give himself and his daughter a more stable and joyful lifestyle.

Here are just a few milestones that William and Givingmas have achieved together: 

• Scheduled an interview that led to a full-time job offer

• Stopped an eviction process and set up a repayment plan

• Replaced broken vehicle windows and provided needed maintenance

• Helped him replace his stolen vehicle, providing reliable transportation

• Met with financial advisors to set up bank accounts, provide understanding of money markets and CDs, and obtain his first secured credit card that eventually became unsecured

• Helped him raise his credit score from 540 to 712 in just two years through credit repair and debt negotiation

• Helped him become debt-free and fully in control of his finances and credit

William’s story is a powerful reminder that life’s challenges don’t appear overnight—and they can’t be solved overnight either. With two years of dedication, persistence, and teamwork, he has built a stronger future for himself and his daughter.
