A loan helped to buy perfumes, makeup, and creams.


Pamela Odalis's story

Pamela is 34 years old and is the single mother of a boy with special abilities. Since the diagnosis of her son, she has faced life with much strength. She became not just a mother, but a therapeutic caregiver and a teacher.

To care for her son and cover his medical needs, Pamela decided to run a business from her home selling cosmetics via catalog. With hard work and dedication, she has been able to create a network of faithful customers, however, her income is still not enough.

Pamela seeks a loan to invest in more products like perfumes, makeup, and creams. Her goal is to become a sales leader. This way, she can keep going forward with her dream of providing a higher standard of living to her son while still being a present mother.
