Benedicto is 51. He lives with his partner, Mirta, who is 49. They have three children ages 21, 18, and 13.

Benedicto is a sacrificing man who worked various years in Argentina. He worked in construction for almost 20 years, and he met Mirta there. With the money he was able to save during that time, he was able to return to his country, Paraguay, to stay.

Once back in his country, together they were able to start their own business. She currently has a small store in her home. Benedicto has a taxi service in Itá, the city they are both from.

Thanks to his effort and help from Mirta, he now has two cars, which are used in the taxi service.

He feels very proud of his work and of Mirta for the help she constantly gives him.

He is asking for a loan to buy tires and other things like batteries for his vehicle. He will tune up his vehicle and then be able to offer better service to his numerous passengers.
