The man is single and has no children. He lives with his mother in a small apartment in an "anticrético" arrangement [antichresis, when a tenant pays a fixed sum upon rental instead of a monthly rent].
His father left them when the man was young, so he helped his mother a lot in all the jobs she had, because she was left alone with two children. The man managed to graduate from high school with his mother's help, and he decided to start working with his uncles in construction, where he learned a lot from them, especially painting, finishing, and wall texturing, and currently earns his income from this.
For a few months he has had several physical problems. He went to the doctor and needs immediate treatment, so he's requesting the loan to cover those expenses. That way he'll be able to continue working with no problems and improving his quality of life, and also have the opportunity to continue supporting his mother and his little sister.
