Wilson Maximiliano's story

This is Wilson, an unassuming rural man who is in a common-law marriage and lives with the mother of his children.  His children are all now adults, but they are studying at the university.  Wilson supports them so that they can accomplish their dreams of becoming professionals, so that they can have a different life than that of their parents.  

Wilson has had a business for 6 years selling sugar cane toffee, coconut cookies, donuts, and other sweets.  This way, he can earn the income he needs to support his family.

Wilson wants to have a store in the center of the city.  To do this, he is requesting a loan to buy an industrial oven, copper pans, trays, and ingredients to make the sweets that he sells.  This way, he aspires to change his living standard.  In the future, he hopes to have a vehicle that he can use for his family as well as his business.
