Sara Rodriguez Villalobos

Mrs. Sara Rodríguez Villalobos is a single mother with 3 children. She works at an assembly plant. The house she lives in was given to her by the state government at a low cost. She has been making improvements using the loans given to her from this institution. First, she put a fence and security bars in front of her home. She built a room, and she would like to install tile flooring. When she was given her home it only had one bedroom and a bathroom. With the improvements she has made it now has two bedrooms.
