Resources for Military Families

Pay it
Forward

25 value - Virtual OK - Posted Sep 09, 2017

I will do the research to provide a list of national and local resources that are available for DEERS registered military spouses and children for most household and family needs. I refer people only to free or low cost resources available directly through the military or associated and legitimate non profit organizations. Please don't feel awkward reaching out. I have been there and done that and I can help!

NOTE: I am also able to look for resources for girlfriends/boyfriends and parents of military members however because many resources are limited to military members and their official dependents (currently only spouses and children) I can not guarantee that I will be able to provide as much information as I can for official dependents.

Training & Qualifications


I am an Accredited Financial Counselor and the spouse of a retired Coast Guard service member. I have been married to my husband for 16 years with 13 of those years during his active duty career. I have lived the active duty family lifestyle in several states and have dealt with many separations both short and long term. I am well connected in the military community around the country. Please reach out to me without fear of judgement! I can help!

Availability & Preferences


Reach me through Simbi or my website www.ourmoneygoals.net.

Trading Preference: Pay it forward – pass on the good deed!

Dawn was super excellent in providing me the care and feedback necessary for my financial goals. She simplified the process with spreadsheet attachmen...ts for me to fill out, so I could see where my money was going, and she also helped me outline goals and strategies to achieve those goals. A really excellent service Dawn provides; I would recommend to everyone. show more

Personal Financial Guidance
I love the idea of sharing resources through joint efforts rather than money because it means that the provider and the customer are interchangeable and likely more committed to a positive outcome!

About Dawn Torres-Gale

I am an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC) who partners with clients to identify their financial goals and create a detailed, measurable action plan to accomplish each goal. I became certified as ...an AFC in 2012 and have been providing financial guidance to clients from diverse social and economic backgrounds ever since. My scope of work includes household budgets, savings and spending plans, debt repayment plans, credit review and rehabilitation plans, consumer loan pre-application guidance, insurance and investing education and basic retirement planning. I do not recommend or sell insurance, investment or other financial products, so there is no fiduciary conflict of interest associated with the guidance I provide. Since financial literacy is still not taught across the board in American schools, many people enter adulthood without the requisite skills necessary to manage their personal finances properly. Unfortunately too many adults don't seek any formal assistance with their finances because they feel as if they should know more than they do and are embarrassed. The reality is that no one (including me) is born knowing how to manage their money so we can't realistically hold ourselves responsible for knowledge that was never provided. My favorite part of my job is when I have helped a client reclaim their power over their personal finances through sharing my knowledge of personal financial best practices and providing guidance specifically tailored to the clients goals. I am available in person in the Portland, Oregon metro area and through virtual meetings for clients not in my local area. I am happy to be here and look forward to connecting with you!show more
