Elbow Room was born from the urgent need to address the predatory nature of student loans inundating our public service professionals in America. Inspired by the video series 'ELBOW ROOM,' by Holly Johnson Friar where individuals bravely shared their stories while preserving their anonymity from elbow to chin, our organization embraces the concept of space for honest, shame-free narratives. We recognize the pervasive shame surrounding the social situations many face and we're determined to be part of the solution in offering these professionals some financial elbow room. At Elbow Room, we're not just a not-for-profit; we're a platform for empowerment and change.
