A Toast to Chapter 13 Trustees –

Here’s to the Chapter 13 trustees,
Whose work is often overlooked,
But who tirelessly and skillfully guide
Those struggling with debt and bankruptcy.

They navigate the complex legal terrain
With expertise and empathy,
Working toward a better financial future
For those in need of debt relief.

We raise our glasses to these professionals,
Whose role is vital and important,
And who make a positive difference
In the lives of so many.

To the Chapter 13 trustees, we say cheers,
Thank you for all that you do,
And may your work continue to bring hope
To those facing tough times.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Trustee’s, wise and just,
A beacon of hope for those in dire need,
To help them out of debt, to readjust,
And pave the way for a brighter indeed.

With knowledge and skill, they guide the way,
Through legal jargon and financial strife,
A steady hand to help repay,
And rebuild a hopeful financial life.

With trust and transparency, they lead the way,
To manage creditors, and ease the pain,
The truest friend of those who cannot pay,
To bring them back to the sunny lane.

So here’s to you, Chapter 13 Trustees,
Your light shines bright, as you ease our blues.
