MEMBER PROFILE
Shannon Sullivan

"I really found out how caring Alternatives is last October when I was called up to active duty after Hurricane Katrina," says member Shannan Sullivan. "Navy pay is only a fraction of what I make as a nurse practitioner. I panicked. I had to make provisions. In 24 hours Alternatives had arranged for me to pay interest only on smaller loans, and forebear my mortgage until I returned from active duty... Alternatives made me feel like I was the only person they had to worry about."
