Francisco Gonzalez Ramirez

Mr. Francisco González sells used car parts. His wife, Mrs. Rebeca Serrato, sells used clothing. These two jobs provide the family’s income. Today they live in a borrowed home and they have been asked to move out. Their home is missing the slab foundation but they don’t have the money to make this improvement, so they are seeking a loan to be able to finish the construction and be able to live in their own home.

The person in the photo is Mrs. Rebeca Serrato, as Mr. Francisco González was not home because he is the only person who works in his business, while his wife’s business is more accessible during business hours.

Translated from Spanish by Cindy Kendall, Kiva Volunteer

El señor Francisco González se dedica a la venta de partes de carros usados, y su esposa la señora Rebeca Serrato a la venta de ropa usada estos son los ingresos de su familia. Ellos viven actualmente en una casa prestada pero ya les están pidiendo que desocupen la vivienda. Y a su casa le esta haciendo falta la losa pero no cuentan con el dinero necesario para realizar la mejora, es por eso que solicitan un préstamo para poder terminar la construcción y así poder abitar a su propia casa.
La persona que sale en la foto es su esposa la señora Rebeca Serrato, ya que el solicitante el señor Francisco González no se encontraba porque él es la única persona que atiende el negocio, y el de su esposa es más accesible en los horarios de su negocio.
