For many families, home ownership represents more than just having a roof over their heads—it symbolizes stability, security, and years of hard work. For local veteran Ron Hernandez, his home was all of that and more. But when financial hardship threatened to take it all away, Cobalt Credit Union stepped in to help.
Ron Hernandez, a proud U.S. military veteran, had always been a provider for his family. Like many who serve, he transitioned to civilian life with determination and resilience. However, unforeseen circumstances put an unexpected strain on his finances. When he found himself in need of $47,000 to keep his family home, he faced a heartbreaking reality: without immediate financial relief, he and his family could lose everything.
Understanding the urgency of the situation, Cobalt CU acted swiftly. The Credit Union along with its SAC Foundation donated $25,000 to help Hernandez cover a significant portion of the outstanding costs which allowed him and his family to remain in their home.
Hernandez’s story is a powerful example of how community-driven credit unions can change lives. Cobalt CU didn’t just provide money; they provided peace of mind, stability, and hope. For Hernandez and his family, the intervention meant the difference between displacement and security.
Cobalt Credit Union has long been committed to serving those who serve. Their dedication to veterans, military families, and the broader community reflects their mission to offer financial solutions with heart. By stepping up when it mattered most, they reinforced the importance of local institutions that prioritize people over profits.
