Cheryl Hampton still remembers the day when she found out her childhood home that has been in her family for generations was facing foreclosure. With a low credit score, a tight budget, and two sons to raise, Cheryl didn’t know if she could save a vital part of her family history.

A Southern Bancorp billboard had Cheryl asking herself “What if they can help me?” When she arrived at the branch, she was connected with a credit counselor. They worked together to rebuild her credit, refinance her mortgage, and save her family home. She looks forward to securing her home for generations to come.
