Proceeds to benefit retail trauma charity

Bethany, Oklahoma- Students from Stefan Thomás Fellows University are banding together to do double the good this holiday season.

As shoppers gear up for the biggest shopping week of the year, many massive purchases will be loaded onto credit cards. With a mounting credit crisis in the US, business students at the small university are concerned.

“Folks get so excited by all the sales, they don’t always spend responsibly,” says Elaine Jackson, 14, a senior Accounting student. “We know that by the end of the holiday season, a lot of people are under financial water. And we hope to help!”

Jackson and fellow Fellows University students from across multiple business and finance programs will offer credit counseling services for a small fee throughout the holiday season.

Franklin Winsom Alexander Humphries III, 23, had this to say about the inaugural program:

“Understanding debts, interest rates, credit reports, and basic accounting is key to making it through the holiday season. We really think that if we sit down with families and break it all down for them, we can really change lives.”

Humphries, a junior business finance student, explains that the $3500 fee will go directly to benefit the Retail Workers Are People Too Foundation.

The local charity, founded by former retail worker Kirsten Song, works with employees of the retail sector. Her organization helps bring awareness to Post Traumatic Retail Disorder, or PTRD.

“Retail work is a whole other world and the holidays their own special hell for retail workers,” explains Song. “After a month of manually entering 28 digit SKUs, being cussed out over 5% discounts, and being told you should not be allowed to breathe by shoppers filled with the holiday spirit, many retail employees suffer a full traumatic break.”

Song’s organization works with current and former victims of retail sales. They aim to help PTRD sufferers trust the capitalistic system again and curb behaviors learned from dealing with the worst of humanity during the holiday season.

The Fellows students, many of whom have worked in retail to afford a college textbook or two, are excited to donate to the charity.

However, critics from elsewhere in the university point to the massive debt the business students are already shouldering thanks to outrageous university tuition and exorbitant costs associated with higher education.

When asked about this, students shrugged it off. Humphries commented, “Yeah, I’ve got student debt, but I know about it. That’s a problem for my kids to deal with, really. My crushing student loan debt doesn’t negate the good with can do for the community as well as former retail workers just trying to reintegrate into society.”
