Emily Valentina's story

Emily Valentina is 19 years old, she is single, and she studies Veterinary Medicine at a local university and lives in her parents home in the city of Portoviejo, Ecuador. The city is known for blending rural landscapes, beaches, and varied gastronomy which attracts tourists to this pretty location.

She is a hard-working young woman who is looking for a way to earn income and thus meet her educational expenses and also help out her parents who have scarce resources. She works selling various articles for the home such as sheets, plastic items, and other articles. She sells from home and via social media. She sells on credit and via cash depending on her customers. In this way she continues and it is thanks to the help that she is given with these loans and for that reason she is very grateful and asks that you continue to help her.

This loan will be used to buy decorations, brooms, sheets, toasters, blenders, and other items.
