"With all the obstacles life throws at you on a normal day-to-day basis you don't really stop to think and appreciate what you possess and have accomplished. In fact, you tend to take things for granted.

Then comes along an unforeseen natural disaster that knocks you down and says, 'Now get back up and rebuild.' A tightness in the chest, a fear of 'where do I begin' overwhelms you. People you barely know shower you with empathy and selfless generosity. Words cannot express the joy, relief and love to those who struggle with you.

Thank you, thank you … thank you for what you have done. I am so proud and grateful to be a recipient of your generosity and love. Just another reason to be a part of the credit union family. This is what makes us strong and proud."
