Maria Elena

Maria Elena is 50 years old. She is in a common law relationship and has two independent adult children. Her partner works in business and they live in the city of Portoviejo, which was affected by the April 16, 2016 earthquake. The city is rich in the production of vegetables and tropical fruit for internal consumption.

In her free time, Maria Elena provides manicures and pedicures in her home or in others' homes if requested. She works Monday to Saturday and sometimes on Sundays, and in this way she is able to cover her expenses and part of those of her household.

Her dreams are to have a lot of work and that her family will have good health.

This loan is to buy a variety of nail polish, nail polish remover, exfoliant lotions, nail files, clippers, and scissors, and to pay for electricity.
