Case Studies

In an effort to understand the multitude of needs of those in financial crisis, Remedee has been meeting with individuals and families to listen to their stories and explore their challenges. We have included some excerpts from these stories below.


	Liz and Danny He made $60,000 per year at Verizon, and was laid off. She wants to go back to school but can’t afford childcare for their five-year old twins. Their car was repossessed, their credit was ruined, and they moved in with their parents. They are “at wit’s end.”
	Dana and Dan Made six-figure income, had perfect credit, and live in $500,000 house in gated community in Riverside. Both lost jobs within a week of each other. Dan has a post-doctorate degree, is an army vet, and has been a lawyer, a preacher, a college professor, and most recently, a fundraiser. He recently applied for jobs at Wal-Mart and Walgreen’s and was turned away. They filed from bankruptcy, are in foreclosure, and make $1500 per month on unemployment.

"The recession is taking a terrible toll - 230,000 Angelenos are now standing in unemployment lines, the jobless rate is simmering at 12% and rising, the mortgage crisis has now forced 21,000 families to box up their belongings and vacate their homes, many experiencing for the first time in their lives the humiliating pain -- the frustration -- that comes in having to put your hand out and rely on the help of strangers to survive."

-- Mayor Villaraigosa, Los Angeles, April 2009
