Betty
A loan of $11,475 helps to pay for a new air conditioner that will ensure that Betty and the children she cares for can live in her home safely year-round.
Betty's story
Betty lives alone in her home, and recently became a widow with the passing of her husband who was also her main caretaker. She is responsible for two children who are not her biological children, and she lives on a fixed income. Despite this, and her health concerns, Betty makes the best with what she has.
She has a limited credit history, due to never having taken out significant credit accounts, and this has made it nearly impossible to take out credit to replace her failed air conditioner as well as duct work and drain lines.
Betty is hoping that SELF and Kiva can provide her with an affordable monthly payment that will allow her to make this necessary replacement of her air conditioner system before the weather makes living in her with her two children difficult.
