Bankruptcy Success Story

Bankruptcy Success Story

• Client: K. K.

It was November 20th when I first spoke with Travis Kizner. He was in the hospital but hopeful, expecting to be released in a couple of days. Our conversation focused on his family’s home—it was scheduled for foreclosure in January, and he wanted to find a way to protect it.

Days passed, and I didn’t hear back from him. Concerned, I sent a follow-up text on November 26th. Later that night, I received a response, but not from Travis.

"Hi Dennis, this is Karen, Shane’s wife. He passed away last night. I assume you were assisting with the bankruptcy?"

It was a heartbreaking message. I immediately called Karen. In the midst of her grief, she was now facing the very real threat of losing her home. We talked late into the night, and together, we came up with a plan—one that would give her time to regain her footing and sell the house on her own terms.

With the right steps in place, we connected her with a realtor who guided her through the process. She was able to sell the home, protect her equity, and move forward without the crushing weight of foreclosure and debt on top of the immense loss she was already navigating.

It was a difficult journey, but in the end, she found a way to start over. And sometimes, that’s the best outcome we can hope to give someone in moments like these.
