My name is Jose Ambrozo. I am a gardener and a father supporting a family of six.  This is my story.
 
Yesterday:
It was difficult to make the minimum payment on monthly bills.  Then I learned about the Earned Income Tax Credit through my tax preparer and was about to get almost $4,000 back in credits.
 
Today:
Since I was able to put so much unexpected money in my pocket, I am able to pay our bills right away and even buy things my kids may need at home.

 
My name is Sandra Rascon.  I am a 41 year old single parent raising 4 children.  This is my story.
 
Yesterday:
I had to use some of my hard-earned dollars to pay someone else to figure out my taxes.  By using the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) instead, I was able to save over $200.
 
Today:
With the money that would have gone to tax preparation fees I was able to start saving for new furnishings and upgrades to my home!
