Wilber

Wilber is a diligent young man who finished high school a few months ago. His financial limitations did not allow him to continue his studies at University, so he opted to continue studying at a Technical College. This young man, with the support of his brothers, decided to work as a blacksmith, making a variety of steel rings for cord. This small, but indispensable business generates the income that allows him to cover the costs of school. Wilber is hard-working but does not have sufficient raw materials to continue making steel rings at this time. He needs a loan of $375, money with which he plans to purchase iron and wire to continue his work.
