Often, they are not for cash and instead go towards essential goods and services such as education costs, health aides and household items.<\/p>\n<p>The NILS and LILS act as an alternative to expensive and risky payday loans which are often sought in desperate financial times and have an unfortunate history of creating more problems than they do solutions.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re all about helping people in the pursuit of their financial goals and love what Good Shepard are doing to assist Australians in times of need.
