"I
belong to the West Oakland community group, a part of
The Family Independence Initiative, designed to encourage
its members to become more financially stable and self-sufficient.
That's where I found out about Individual Development
Accounts."
Through the IDA matched savings plan, I was able to
invest in my own home business. With the money from
the IDA, I bought the materials like jars, labels, shea
butter, and essential oils that I use to make the products
that I currently sell. The business is starting to flourish,
and I'm starting to save to buy a house for my family.
The IDA program has been great for us, it really, really
has. Thank you!"
