A Fresh Financial Path

Without reliable transportation to work, Stewart Fawcus was at risk of losing his job. Fawcus could not get an auto loan because his credit score was too low. He says another financial institution “wanted me to put down $500 to take out a $500 loan, which I was never able to do.” HOPE’s financial navigators found a solution to place him on a solid financial path. HOPE’s team approved Fawcus for an affordable, low-interest credit building loan, allowing him to pay for repairs to his motorcycle and to save for the future, which he says includes returning to college to attain a degree.
