Living as a first or second generation immigrant in this country and the State of Delaware can present many challenges, particularly for those navigating the world of personal finance such as purchasing a home, paying for college, and other major life events.
Maria Ramos and Edwin Santos from United Way of Delaware's Stand By Me program are featured on this podcast episode, to talk about the challenges that Hispanic and Latino individuals face in the State of Delaware, and how the Stand By Me program helps support them and their families through all stages of life.
Stand By Me® provides Delawareans with a Personal Financial Coach and a toolkit to navigate the challenges leading to personal financial security. The Delaware Financial Empowerment Partnership (DFEP) is a joint venture of the State of Delaware and the United Way of Delaware working together to combine resources and to create and implement an innovative package of financial empowerment services. We are joined by a coalition of non-profit organizations, corporations, foundations and educational institutions.
