A loan helped to pay for an eye operation.


Manuel's story

Some time ago, Manuel had an operation on one of his eyes due to not being able to see well and this was affecting his work. Luckily the operation was successful and his suffering was resolved. However, recently he began to have problems in his other eye which also requires surgical treatment. He works at an auto body shop as a mechanic and his eye problem is affecting his work performance. To be able to cover the cost of the operation, Manuel asked for a loan with which to be able to pay for the surgery. He is confident that this second operation will also be successful and soon he will recover his vision one hundred percent and, so, continue working to get his family ahead.
