Hope Credit Union has been there for Allison Omelia during tough times in her life. When the preschool teacher’s car needed repairs, she was approved for a loan by HOPE. “Without a car, I wouldn’t have a job. I wouldn’t be able to go to school. I had nowhere to turn and HOPE helped me out.” Allison paid off the loan and improved her credit in the process, opening the door for her to get approved for a cell phone. Later, when Allison needed surgery, her husband secured a loan from HOPE to cover the insurance deductible. The couple has since opened checking accounts with HOPE and plan to one day finance a new home.
