When Eunice reflects on life before reaching out for help, she uses one word: “darkness”.
She and her husband Mike had worked hard all their lives, raising their children and serving their community. But a move to a new city meant changes to their income. Debts that once felt manageable became overwhelming.
As the pressure grew, so did the impact on their wellbeing.
“I was taking all the stress because I knew that stress wasn’t good for Mike. And sometimes you forget about yourself and keep on going — until something happens.”
For Eunice, that ‘something’ was a serious medical condition.
Thankfully, when the couple reached out to CAP for help, support was available because of generous people like you.
Today, more people than ever before are reaching out for that same support.

When you give today, you’re ensuring that another family like Mike and Eunice’s can receive free, holistic support as they work to regain control of their finances.
Christians Against Poverty and the local church will walk alongside that family, so they don’t have to face money pressures alone. Now they’re free to focus on what’s most important to them. Mike and Eunice were able to focus on their health, instead of continually worrying about creditors and unpaid bills.
Your generosity today means the next person who calls CAP for help is cared for, prayed for, and shown the love of Jesus.
Here’s what your gift provides:
- Practical support wherever they are in New Zealand, as a CAP Coach from the local church offers ongoing care and practical support.
- Relief from money pressures, as the CAP Team takes over things like creditor phone calls, and finds a pathway out of money chaos
- Advocacy for people trapped by unfair lending or complex situations
- A local church family to walk alongside them, right where they live, bringing the love of Jesus, practical support, friendship and prayer.
And the money skills people learn on their CAP journey impact them both now and into the future. Eunice says it so well:
“Thank you for giving us this chance to repay debt and do it ourselves!”
It means so much to Eunice that they could start this journey out of debt, themselves. 💸 CAP providef free support to Eunice & Mike as they repaid their debt using their own income. (It’s always clients who do the hard work – CAP never pays a dollar of their debt).
Mike and Eunice are so grateful for CAP’s life-changing support:
“I didn’t have to worry about ‘the big stuff’ anymore. CAP look at it for what it is and brighten it for you!
I just loved the way they worked with us. Really normal church people. CAP always prayed for us and gave us a lot of faith.”
Today, Eunice describes leaving the darkness of debt & coming “back into the light.” And she has this message to encourage generous people like you:
“Thank you for giving, because there’s always going to be somebody who needs the help… just like we did.”
