Michelle Nathaly, 28, is married. She doesn't have any children at the moment. Her husband's a police officer. They live in a rented house in Portovijeo, a city impacted by the 16 April 2016 earthquake and now the Covid-19 pandemic. The city is rich in the production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruit for domestic consumption.
Michelle Nathaly works making catalogue sales of Avon products (beauty products, cosmetics, perfume, and women's accessories). She works three days a week, two or three hours a day, leaving her products on credit and collecting payment weekly.
During this worldwide crisis she has suffered financial difficulties. Her clients aren't able to pay her because they've lost their jobs, and others have died. Things were very bad for her at the beginning of the health crisis because she couldn't make sales, but now she's reactivating little by little, and that way she can continue earning her income.
With this new loan she's going to buy make-up, perfume, creams, costume jewelry, etc.
Her dream is to have her own home and for her family to be very healthy.
