Today I finished paying off my OPD program debt! I can’t thank Yve Boucher and the others on the Money Mentors team enough for all of their guidance. Throughout the 2 years that I worked with Yve she was always a call or an email away and I received guidance when I needed it and in a timely manner. I recommend Money Mentors to anyone that is struggling to get back into good financial shape. Shanae!! Meara

Unfortunately, the debt was created by my half sibling and my father from stealing and reselling my property and not paying my bills and stealing my profits. So that’s awesome.. sometimes it’s not your fault.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Meara, for your kind words and congratulations on completing your OPD program! We’re thrilled that Yve and our team could support you throughout your journey. Your recommendation means so much to us, and we’re here if you ever need guidance in the future. Wishing you continued success and financial peace!

I am ashamed to be writing this review so many months after receiving the wonderful and timely advice from Alexander Martin, Counsellor with Money Mentors, Calgary, Alberta. I contacted him after carefully reviewing their website, back in November of 2024, and he graciously and extremely patiently explained the various aspects of handling my personal debt.
I was so ashamed for allowing myself to fall into this trap of credit card debt. I should have known better. And for that reason, I was adamant that I needed to pay off the debt myself. I was not prepared to forgive myself for the fact that had I not been diagnosed with 3 types of cancer in 2016 and forced to quit work, I would have been able to meet my own commitments, but I chose to remain angry, lonely, and growing further in debt with increasing interest fees monthly. I was 75, and if I could just get a part time job... but after a whole year of applications and job fairs, that was not to be.
Alexander was so kind; he explained the facts, and how so many Canadians fall into this trap annually, whether through illness, bad choices, job loss, or whatever other circumstance. He eased my guilt, and allowed me to see the light again. While Money Mentors does not handle the particular solution to my own problem, he was the guiding light on my journey towards the rest of my life and freedom. I did not bite the bullet finally until August of 2025, by the time I selected a Trustee to work with, but I am now well on my way. Thank you Alexander; I could not have done it without you!

Money Mentors rescued me from a debt problem I could never seem to overcome. After years of best intentions, trying to be responsible, borrowing from one source to pay another, and then losing my job, it became impossible to just get by another month. The stress and anxiety were bringing me down, and worse, bringing my wife down with me. I feared it would feel like defeat, and an embarrassment, to reach out for help, but I could not have been more wrong.

I reached out to Money Mentors. We met with Alexander Martin who guided us through our options and setting up my OPD program. Alex was fantastic – empathetic, patient, kind, informative and thorough. For the first time in years it felt like there was light at the end of the tunnel. The strain and stress on our immediate lives changed almost overnight.

It has taken some time, but the debt is now cleared. My responsibilities to creditors have been met, which was important to me personally. My wife and I communicate better about finances and budgeting. Now I’m working on gradually restoring my credit record to good standing, with a clear plan and timeline in place to accomplish that.

I can’t imagine getting here without the incredible help of Money Mentors, we’re very grateful.

Thank you, Alex!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your journey and leaving such a thoughtful review. Your words beautifully capture the challenges you faced and the courage it took to seek help. We’re so glad that Alexander and the Money Mentors team could be there to provide the guidance and support you needed.

About the FRESH Financial Counsellor – Sharon Hyde

My name is Sharon Hyde, and my passion for people and entrepreneurship led me to relocate to the beautiful city of Calgary, Alberta, to work with Money Mentors—an Alberta-based not-for-profit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with financial education and actionable solutions for success.

In January 2025, the F.R.E.S.H. Program was born, driven by my deep commitment to providing financial education tailored to Alberta’s entrepreneurs, small business owners, contract drivers, and self-employed tradespeople.

For over 20 years, I have been dedicated to financial literacy and strategic solutions for entrepreneurs. With a decade of experience in retail banking (2015-2025)—serving in both administrative and financial advisory roles—I have helped countless individuals and businesses navigate financial challenges and achieve stability.

As a mother of six adult children, I understand the challenges of balancing responsibilities while pursuing ambitious goals. My background in retail management and small business ownership has given me firsthand insight into both the struggles and successes of entrepreneurship.

Currently, I am working toward my Personal Financial Planner (PFP) designation, expanding my expertise in financial strategy and debt management. My strengths lie in innovative thinking, problem-solving, and strategic planning, with a focus on helping business owners regain financial control, optimize their operations, and build long-term success.

Through my work with the F.R.E.S.H. Program, I am committed to providing entrepreneurs with practical, results-driven solutions to manage debt and create lasting financial resilience.
