Our Story
Elbow Room was born from the urgent need to address the predatory nature of student loans inundating public service professionals in America. Inspired by the video series 'ELBOW ROOM' by Holly Johnson Friar, individuals bravely shared their stories while preserving their anonymity. This organization embraces the concept of space for honest, shame-free narratives, recognizing the pervasive shame surrounding financial struggles. Elbow Room is not just a nonprofit; it is a platform for empowerment and change.
