Carolina Magaly

Carolina Magaly is 44 years old. She is a widow. She has three children, ages 26, 24, and 13. They attend elementary and secondary school. They live in a house that a cousin lends them. They live in Los Bajos de Montecristi, which is outstanding because of its handicrafts made from toquilla straw, wicker, piquigua [a tropical rain forest plant] fiber, and wood. Fine hats made from toquilla straw are recognized in the world as "Panama hats."

Carolina Magaly is a great woman who has to cover all the household expenses and care for her children. When her children are in school, she works in her home doing acrylic nails, polygels, manicures, and pedicures. She also does these in customers' homes when they ask her. She works more on weekends. Her customers always recommend her because of her good work.

She is very grateful to the good people who always help her with the loans. With these, she can give the best to her children so that they can continue with their education and have a good life.

This loan is to buy acrylic nails, apliques, nail polish, files, tweezers, fasteners, nail brushes, oil for cuticles, etc.

Her dream is to have her own house and for her children to have good health and become professionals.
