Location:
Danville, CA, United States
Occupation:
Mechanical Engineer
I loan because:
I'm poor by California US standards, but I can still help those less fortunate than I. It's one thing I learned from Jesus that imprinted my soul. I have a Christian background, but don’t go churchin'. My family does many great things and I need to catch up. Kiva, thank you for helping me with Gods money (tithe), help others. Anyone remember the last line of the starfish thrower story: The boy picked up the starfish, and as he gently* tossed it back into the ocean, he said, "It makes a difference to that one." . . . . *Personally, I would use "with gusto" instead of "gently". Kiva is the greatest! A hand up, not a hand out. Let's all partner up and chuck few starfish back into the ocean. No more buying jet skis and gold chains for my friends. :)
About me:
I design various plastic and metal products that usually contain electronics.
