About Hope4Hardship

How it all started.

Hope4Hardship’s Michael Russell has walked more than a mile in your moccasins. He seemingly had it all – a successful family real estate business, every afforded opportunity, a happy and healthy family. Unfortunately, his excessive lifestyle led to divorce, foreclosures, short sales, bankruptcies and shame.

That path helped him earn invaluable knowledge: many bankruptcies can be avoided. He created the Hope4Hardship non-profit to consult and help individuals and families explore and exhaust all options to filing bankruptcy and losing your home.

Simply put, Hope4Hardship helps people get out of their own way. That starts with constructive discussions with your bank. We can do this on a 3-way call, in person at your home or in the privacy of Michael’s office. He will coach you prior to the calls and speak on your behalf with your permission.

The depth of your struggle, how long it lasts and how bad it becomes is completely dependent on you and how long you will wait before you begin facing this head on.

It all starts with a phone call. To set up an initial conversation with Michael, please click here or call 508-501-9214.

One more thing

Hope4Harship will never ask you for money, everything we do is free of charge. We understand there are people and firms out there that wish to charge you for help filling out assistance applications or communicating and negotiating with your bank. Michael’s personal and professional experience make those things both deeply meaningful and terribly easy for him, so before you pay money you don’t have to seek solutions, give Mike and his team a call and experience what paying it forward is meant to feel like.
