Total Debt:

Chelsea and Jake are a married couple living in Texas, with more than $37,000 of debt between them. The problems started for them between 2017 and 2019, when they racked up medical debt after Chelsea miscarried four times. The couple had their “miracle baby” Hendrix in 2020, but the financial hits didn’t let up: COVID all but obliterated the couple's earnings last year. And today, even with Jake working three jobs and Chelsea's home bakery making a slow recovery, the couple is struggling to keep up financially. With a new child and another one on the way, they are hoping not just to pay off their debt, but also to start saving cash for a home and their children’s future. With life on the brink, they’ve turned to the Going From Broke team for help.
