What You Can Expect

During your initial four hours of pro bono (no-cost) meetings, your advisor will focus on understanding your current situation and helping you navigate your biggest concerns. You will gain clarity and understanding, which reduces stress. They will help you feel more confident and secure when making financial decisions about your future. See the possible results by visiting here.

After completing the pro bono engagement with your coach, you will discuss options for moving forward—whether that means continuing with pro bono assistance, transitioning to professional services, or concluding the engagement. There is no selling of products or services. There is never any pressure or obligation. You have options so that we are able to personalize the level of assistance you need.

Everyone deserves access to professional guidance during this challenging transition. And that's precisely what you receive with Wings for Widows. Our volunteer coaches provide their services with complete confidentiality and adhere to the CFP® Board's strict ethical standards. You couldn't be in better hands!

I didn’t know what to expect from this. I was hoping for someone to teach me how to handle our money but preparing for the worst. I was ready to have some guy tell me to invest money I don’t have into things I don’t understand and then tell me to stop shopping, and that is NOT what I got. My coach was extremely empathetic, kind, and thankfully understanding… He taught me how to make a budget and gave me a general understanding of where my money is going/can go and how to keep it safe. I’m so thankful to have had such an amazing person coach me through the least amazing part of my life.
