"M adeline Vega at Fleet worked for two months to put together a mortgage I could afford so I could keep my home. And I'll tell you, I'd be living on the &a c.,..,,.c.,,ry street if it wasn't for her." H omeowner

After a 5-year property dispute, Bea Carey-Canty couldn't afford the home she'd fought so hard to win. She had

no one to tum to. Until she met Madeline Vega at Fleet Madeline worked hard to get Mrs. Carey-Canty a

mortgage she could afford. And thanks to all those efforts, she kept her home. Because the way we see it, every

investment we make is an investment in the community. And that benefits us all. That's the kind of thinking

that's at the heart of our INCITY program for people and communities in need. At $8 billion, it's the most com­

prehensive lending commitment ever made by any financial institution in the country. If you'd like to participate

in the Fleet INCITY program, call 1-800-CALL-FLEET (I-800-225-5353). lt could make a real difference.
