retired / food kitchen service
I loan because:
No greater feeling than to help lift someone up and send them on there way better than when you met them. I met a man (Gro) from Boke, Guinea, Africa going to school in Troy, Ohio, USA as I was. He impressed my family and I so much that I now do this to help the African people out of poverty. I focus on Africa, woman and farmers because they are the sole of our world and could use a hand up to realize their dreams.
About me:
Just 2 soles trying to find their way through life. No better or worse than anyone else. I worked in food machine repair and Carol in food kitchen service. Parents were laborer and dairy farmer. My dream would be to see and or talk to Gro again since he went back to Boke, Guinea to his family about 20 years ago. I do all of this in his honor. Thank you Gro, I miss you!
