In Time for the Holidays

Akia’s struggles deepened as her old truck spiraled into a series of breakdowns, depleting her finances and leaving her without reliable transportation in December of 2023. Faced with limited options, Akia turned to Google in search of pre-approved cars, discovering Dependable Auto Sales and embarking on a path to a new beginning.

A reassuring call from a salesperson affirmed that they had various loan options, even if her current bank didn’t work out. Unfortunately, her loan applications were not approved as the lenders cited her holding multiple jobs. HOPE looked beyond the issue raised by other lenders and focused on her history of paying bills. “I’ve been with four kids and no car for a week, and it’s about to be Christmas,” Akia expressed, emphasizing the urgency of her situation.

Just in time for the holiday, the call came—Akia was approved for an auto loan from HOPE. She seized the opportunity to purchase a used truck for her family, expressing gratitude to HOPE for going the extra mile to understand her unique situation.
