Maricela is married and her husband is a carpenter. They have a son who is 5 years old. Maricela had the opportunity to start her business because it was her father's business, but he became sick and could no longer manage it. He sold it so that she could take charge and help her husband with the costs of the family. Her husband's salary is variable and sometimes he doesn't have the means to pay his basic costs. Maricela took charge of her business five years ago and added to the products she sold little by little.

She is requesting a loan of $650 to grow her business and have more space to offer a greater quantity of products. She is offering to repay the loan in 6 months. Maricela and her family very much appreciate your support so she can continue to build her business.
