Weathering the storm:
How DuGood FCU helped one member recover
after Laura and Delta
DONNA HODGKINSON
Two hurricanes hitting six weeks apart in the middle of a pandemic. That’s a tough pill for anyone to swallow! And like many Southeast Texans, Donna Hodgkinson found herself in need of a helping hand.
Hurricanes Laura and Delta had done some serious damage to her home. Donna needed a new roof, weather head, and other costly repairs.
That’s when she reached out to DuGood.
A Lifetime Relationship
Donna had been a member of DuGood for over 30 years, and she felt confident the credit union would be able to help with her home.
“From loans for continuing my education, repairing my home, or buying a vehicle – they have been there for me,” she said.
She applied for a personal loan and received approval quickly.
Five Star Service
All it took was a quick phone call and a few clicks on her laptop to get the help she needed.
“Every person with whom I spoke was extremely helpful and knowledgeable,” Donna shared.
“I called one day and uploaded information on to my computer. I conversed maybe two times via phone and simply used DocuSign to complete the application. The loan was approved that easily!”
People You Know and Trust
A few months later, Donna’s home is looking good. She sits on her front steps, smiling beside a pot of bright pink bougainvillea and enjoying the outdoors.
She feels happy about reaching out to DuGood and encourages others to do the same.
“DuGood has always been good to me. If you need a loan – or just that personal, friendly, knowledgeable staff to assist you with financial decisions, trust DuGood!”
