Jose Israel's story
José lives with his wife who is 50 years old, and his three children aged 20, 22, and 15. He doesn't have any relatives living overseas. He earns his living making and selling hammocks, a skill he learned when he was 10 years old from his mother. He opened his own business twenty years ago and works there from 6:00 am. to 4:00 pm.
José is seeking a loan for financial assistance so he can add to inventory in his business. He plans to buy silk and polyester thread in order to increase production of hammocks. The aim of this investment is to improve sales and income. His hope for the future is to grow his business and have financial stability to pay for the basic needs of his family.
