Dec 01,2022I had started a new job when we applied for this loan and was so worried I wouldn't be able to qualify and help my son with this student load. I got covid from one of my unvaccinated patients and resulted in long covid symptoms which caused a flare of my Multiple Sclerosis and subsequently lost my job last year. I'm so grateful that our loan was considered and approved with the additional request for documentation. thank you so very much.
