Joy has been with the Payee Service program since February 2010. Joy struggled to pay her bills on time and would experience debilitating anxiety. When Joy joined the Payee program, she was guarded and slow to trust anyone with her money. Joy often communicated harshly with the staff because she was fearful her bills would not be paid on time or at all. Eventually, she developed trust with the team through the staff's persistence and learned to communicate effectively, manage her funds, anticipate what monthly bills must be paid, and building considerable savings. When asked if she wished to become her own payee, Joy declined, stating that she couldn't imagine her life without the support of the Payee Service Program.
