Their stories started with one small step. Yours can too.
The families featured on previous seasons of Opportunity Knocks didn’t have it easy. They were stretched thin, overwhelmed, and doing their best to hold it all together. What changed wasn’t just their money. It was their confidence, their access to real support, and their belief that things could get better.
From paying off debt to buying homes, starting businesses, and finally breathing again—these are real people with real wins. And the best part? Everything they used to move forward is available to you too.

Lauren and Jared were unsure about joining a reality series. They worried about how their choices would look. “You hear reality TV and think the worst,” Lauren said. “But from the beginning, we felt seen, respected, and supported.”
What surprised them most was the care the Opportunity Knocks team took in honoring their decisions as a family. “There was so much love and kindness in every step,” Jared shared. “The show truly had our best interest at heart—not just for us, but for our kids and for everyone watching.”

What families say about their experience on the show...
Just a week before filming started, Erika’s car got repossessed. She was juggling over $32,000 in debt, overdue taxes, and the pressure of holding it all together for her family. But once she connected with the right support, everything started to shift. With help from local partners, Erika got her car back, cut her debt by more than half, boosted her credit score by 132 points, and made more than $2,000 a month. She got real help with taxes, her business, and even monthly benefits for her mom. Now her beauty business is growing, her money finally makes sense, and buying a home is back on the table.
