Luz is a diligent woman whom throughout her life has always been able to take on and overcome obstacles in her day to day activities. Her strength of character has brought her many rewards. A while back Luz began a business selling fuel from a pump located in the main highway of her country. Her dream of becoming a successful business owner however has already been shaken on two separate occasions because the people with whom she tried to forge her dreams abandoned her while she was pregnant. This affected her deeply, nevertheless, thanks to her abilities as a strong woman she has continued on full-speed ahead and will not allow herself to be brought down by adversities. She sees in her daughters the meaning and importance of life. They give her the strength she needs to keep going and reach her goals. Luz has started selling fuel again, but the high price of the leasing of the space takes up most of her earnings. It is for this reason that she asks for a sum of 325 dollars in order to begin the construction of her own space in which she can sell her fuel and a small house in the same place so that she can administer her establishment directly. Please help contribute to Luz so that she can have a comfortable place to develop her business with the strength of character for which she is so well known.

Luz es una diligente señora que a lo largo de su vida siempre manifestó un inmenso deseo de superación y laboriosidad en cada una de las actividades que ha emprendido; debido a la fuerza de su carácter ha cosechado muchas satisfacciones. Hace tiempo emprendió el negocio de la venta de combustibles en un grifo ubicado en la carretera central de su país; pero este sueño se ha visto ya frustrado hasta en dos oportunidades porque las personas con las que intentó forjar estos deseos, la abandonaron dejándola sola y con un hijo de por medio, este hecho la afectó mucho sin embargo su fortaleza femenina la ha mantenido en pie y con más fuerzas para no decaer y tampoco dejarse vencer por las adversidades; ha visto en sus hijas la razón e importante motor de su vida para perseverar y alcanzar sus objetivos, de manera que ha iniciado una vez más la venta de combustible, pero el alto precio del arriendo de este espacio, hace que el mayor porcentaje de ganancias se utilicen para el pagodel mismo; motivo por el cual solicita la suma de 325 dólares con el propósito de comenzar la construcción de un espacio propio para la venta de combustible y una pequeña vivienda en el mismo lugar de manera que pueda administrar directamente su establecimiento. Colaboremos para que Luz pueda tener un recinto cómodo para desarrollar sus actividades con el empeño y fuerza que la caracteriza.
