Atilio lives with his wife; their children already have their own homes. He runs a store and is also a farmer who cultivates corn for his family's consumption and to sell. His spouse is a housewife who helps him attend to the store.
Atilio is requesting a loan to buy merchandise for the store, such as: pasta, sugar, rice, beans, eggs, cooking oil and condiments. He needs to buy these items for his business, since they are in high demand, due to the fact that his customers use these products every day in their homes.
Atilio's goal is to keep providing service to his customers, generating more income so that he can look after his family.
