Finding New Roads

February 16th, 2023   

Ashaki Clark, a HOPE member since April of 2021 and a mother of two, experienced significant hardship following a divorce. One of her immediate needs was to purchase a reliable vehicle to get to work and take the children to school. Unfortunately, her financial situation was in flux, and she could not find a bank that would provide her with the financing she needed to buy a car. Out of options, she applied for an auto loan with Hope Credit Union online. One of HOPE’s Memphis-based Sr. Member Representatives connected with Ms. Clark and began the loan process. While Ms. Clark had a limited credit history, she had a strong track record of making payments on time for other bills. HOPE was able to draw on this history to approve the loan. “I am so thankful for HOPE; they took a chance with me knowing my situation, and helped me to move forward,” said Clark. She can now travel with her family with confidence.
