Mary followed her dream and after marrying her husband, she began her first teaching job at an elementary school. She specialized in working with students with behavioral issues and helped them navigate back on track. “Most didn’t realize the impact I had on their lives until they were 17 or 18, even though I taught them in fourth or fifth grade,” Mary says.
Throughout her teaching career, Mary’s family remained most important to her. She and her husband raised three children, Nicolas, Samual and Erica. The Credit Union has been there to help Mary for all her children.
Most notably, Mary was able to turn to the Credit Union for support when she needed to find a way to help her son pay for a corrective surgery. Mary went to her local branch and asked what she could do. Teammember Linda listened to Mary and learned why she was desperate to help her son. Linda advised that a personal loan was best for Mary’s needs and submitted the loan application. Mary was approved on the spot. Her son was able to get the corrective surgery he needed and has been recovering well.
Mary appreciates the Credit Union and values her Membership because she is treated like a real person, not a number. Mary shares, “I’ve built a human connection with my local branch. I feel cared for and treated like family.”
