A loan helped to purchase carrots, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, and more.


Orlando De Jesus's story

At 67 years old, Orlando is a model of dedication and honest work. With his fruit and vegetable cart, he makes rounds through the streets offering fresh products that not only feed homes, but also his own.

Thanks to his daily effort, Orlando has managed to financially sustain his family. Today, Orlando dreams of growing his business. For this, he asks for a loan to purchase more vegetables such as carrots, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, and onions. This investment will allow him to fill his customers' orders and ensure new contracts.

Supporting Orlando is recognizing the value of daily work, constancy and the desire to get ahead. Help him to continue rolling with strength and hope!
