Kiva Lender Cora
Location:
San Jose, CA, United States
Occupation:
teacher
I loan because:
My mother lent me $5,000 to purchase my home 28 years ago. I paid her back in two years with interest. Everyone occasionally needs a helping hand, but unfortunately not everyone has the support when they need it the most.
It has been an amazing experience with Kiva to see my loans repaid and funds made available for new loans. Kiva is the gift that keeps on giving to everyone involved in the process.
About me:
Teaching third grade for the past 38 years has taught me to always expect the unexpected. It also keeps me young.
From the Christophers, "It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness."
