Santos is single and lives with two minor children. Her older children are independent. One of the children lives abroad.

Santos has been the proprietor of a store for approximately one year. She explains that her eldest son gave her the store, since he would be leaving the country. Store hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

She is requesting a loan to have resources that will permit her to expand the inventory of her business. She will buy sugar, beverages, sweets, soap, and other products to sell. Thus she will provide a better service to her customers. She hopes that this investment will help her to increase hier sales and profits.

Her dreams are to share the growth of this business, and to have her own house and better economic conditions,
