Marta is from the Dominican Republic and used to work in a hospital as a nurse's aide. After she was injured on the job, she decided to take her home-based clothing retail business out of her apartment and flea markets, and open up her own shop. She used her savings to invest in her first storefront, where her daughter helps her out.

Marta feels empowered owning her own shop, and is happy that she has been able to learn how to keep her costs down and save money, which is one reason why she is requesting this loan. She plans to use it to purchase wholesale and sample sale clothing, which she can buy for lower prices in bulk.

Marta truly loves her job and says that, someday, she wants to be "as big as Macy's."
