Helping People (and Animals) Live Greater with Nevada Humane Society

Member service representative, Edith Flores, loves animals. She wanted to turn that passion into action and find a way to help all the animals at the Nevada Humane Society as they wait to find their forever homes. With a goal of raising $3,000, Edith got creative, and with the help of Greater Nevada employees and community members, Edith reached her goal.

Edith Flores bring her Greater Nevada passion to Nevada Humane Society to help local animals

It all started years ago, when Edith's husband mentioned she might enjoy having a dog around the house. At first, Edith was hesitant. But after visiting the animal shelter at the Nevada Humane Society just once, she was ready.

Edith found her furry friend and cared for him for years to come. But, when he passed away, Edith felt a calling to do more.

Read This Before You Decide To Use A Buy Now, Pay Later Loan

If you’ve bought anything online recently, you might’ve noticed online retailers offering the option of Buy Now, Pay Later Loans when you click to check out.

This type of loan—also known as a point-of-sale loan—gives you the option to pay off your purchase with bi-weekly or monthly payments over a period of time. Unlike credit cards, many Buy Now, Pay Later Loans (BNPL for short) offer 0% interest and no penalties for late payments.

On the surface, this can sound like a pretty attractive option; especially if your online cart is loaded with big-ticket items such as furniture, gifts, or household goods. However, it’s important to be aware of how BNPLs can impact your credit score before deciding to use this option.
