This humble lady's name is Aurelia; today we find her resting after an immense amount of weekend work. She sells cheese and meat at her city's fairs on saturdays and sundays; she collects the products during the week from adjoining towns which are famous for their product's great taste in her native Huancayo. In addition to this activity, she also occupies herself with the breeding and selling of pigs with the help of her two young sons who are still her dependents. Because she is the only source of income for her home, she spends long periods of time outside of the house at work, hoping to better the quality of life of her dear family. Aurelia asks for a loan to invest in purchasing a higher quantity of cheese and meat in order to sell in them full time from her humble home that she has been preparing for over time. Lets make her petition possible so that this humble mother can spend more time in the company of her dear children.
