Francisco Javier Reyes Martínez

Francisco Javier Reyes Martinez lives in a modest home with small rooms. He lives with his wife and young son. There is a specific space in their bedroom for a closet, the problem is that he does not have the resources needed to take on this project. As you can see in the photo, what he is using as a closet is an iron rod. He wants to take advantage of this space and put in a new closet.

Mr. Reyes works in a barber shop in the city and in his free time paints houses. He is going to use the income from both of his jobs to repay the loan. He is requesting $500 to complete his project.
