Getting to Work in Jackson, MS

After graduating from college, Amber’s new job required her to travel around the state. She needed reliable transportation and used the dealership to finance her car. Although Amber was determined to make her payments, a high monthly payment soon had her struggling to make ends meet. Then, months after the purchase, Amber was the victim of a hit-and-run accident that totaled her car, causing, even more, financial strain. Amber needed help. A co-worker referred her to HOPE, where she financed a car at a lower rate and opened a savings account with the money she saved. Amber said, “HOPE took what could have been a hopeless situation and turned it around.”
