I was born in El Salvador at a time when the country was torn apart by a senseless war. As a child, I saw and experienced things no child should endure. Around me, I saw suffering, poverty, violence, and death. Despite all the trauma to many of us, something beautiful happened. At my tender age, I began to notice the kind-hearted individuals within the community who were always willing to risk their lives to help the needy. Usually, the elderly were the ones who needed the most help because of physical disabilities which prevented them from getting medical care. I admired those heroes and I wanted to help as well but I was just a child myself. That is why when I had the opportunity to come to the U.S. when I was nine, I vowed to never forget that feeling.
I learned English and acculturated pretty well to the American way of life. I graduated from Texas A&M University with a public health career and for the last 12 years, I've worked with entities in the home health industry. There has come a point though in which I've realized that my need to expand my reach and efforts are cut short being behind a desk all day. You see, I have an unexplainable and uncontainable desire to help/educate my communities; particularly the Hispanic communities around Houston. Additionally, through the years, I've seen the health gap which leads to decreased quality care and it is clearly evident with the elderly/disabled.
I decided to leave the corporate world a few weeks ago to embark on this entrepreneurial journey. My desire to use my talents to fulfill my higher purpose is too strong. I want to be that voice that sheds light and advocates positive change for our elderly/disabled in surrounding communities.

It supports a starting entrepreneur to create their dream business.
More about this loan
Business Description
Raquel Ideal Care LLC focuses on rendering health education/quality non-skilled home care to the elderly/disabled by personally sitting down with the client/caregiver in a consultation. The overall goal of my business is to reach the communities by way of education and action. Over the years and through my experience, I have seen the lack of health information people have access to which prevents them from tapping into community resources. This gap leads to reduced quality care and consequently reduced quality of life for our elderly/disabled.
At the moment, I'm operating online and on a mobile basis as a consultant only since I'm missing the state licensure needed to be a home care agency. My hope is to be able to get the licensure with this loan so my efforts are increased.
Even though I've been doing this type of work for 12 years, I've not had an impact on reach capacity. That's why I made the decision to leave the corporate world to fully focus on nurturing this "mission with a vision" that I've carried in my heart for a long. My passion is educating and helping others by guiding them about caring for their elderly or disabled loved ones. I've known one of my talents is my ability to relate to many people from all walks of life and build rapport. This in itself helps me gain access to that group of people and eventually that community. I find extreme joy in being able to sit down with the elderly/caregivers as they share their stories. I feel sometimes we lose that human side to healthcare and we forget the main reason why we are in the field: compassion. One of the core approaches my business highlights is that very same: that human aspect which makes a huge difference in the end.
What is the purpose of this loan?
This loan would facilitate covering the costs/fees for the much-needed state licensure and certifications. Once these are issued, I will be able to open a home care agency and expand my services. Additionally, the loan would help in covering business insurance and initial marketing materials. For me, this loan symbolizes hope. It will jumpstart my business, give my efforts more reach capacity, bring jobs to the community, and help countless elderly/disabled individuals who will finally get the quality health care they are needing.

What is the disbursed date?
The disbursed date indicates the date that the borrower receives their loan funds. Loan disbursal for loans on Kiva can happen anywhere from 30 days before to 90 days after the loan is posted on the Kiva website. Direct loans are always post-disbursed, and will be done only after the loan has fully fundraised on Kiva.
In the case of partner loans, many of our Lending Partners choose to disburse loan funds before the loan request is posted on Kiva. We allow pre-disbursal because it ensures that the funds reach the borrower as soon as they are needed. Loan funds from Kiva lenders then go to backfill that amount and as a lender you assume the risk of the loan. By doing this, our Lending Partners assume the risk that, if the loan isn't funded by lenders, they will have to fund the loan without any funds from Kiva.
If a partner loan is not pre-disbursed, it will be listed on Kiva with an expected "post-disbursed" date. If a post-disbursed loan is not funded on Kiva, there is a chance that the borrower may not receive their loan. Some Lending Partners choose to disburse loans with other sources of funding, while other partners don't have the resources available to fund loans without Kiva lenders' support. No direct loans will be disbursed unless they fully fundraise on Kiva.

No direct loans will be disbursed unless they fully fundraise on Kiva.
Funding model
Every loan has only 30 days to fundraise on Kiva. There are 2 different options for how that funding is sent to the field:
Fixed: the total loan amount must be raised in order for funds to be sent to the Lending Partner. If the loan is not funded in full within the fundraising period, the loan will expire and any funds raised will be returned to lenders' Kiva accounts.
Flexible: any funds raised within 30 days will be passed along to the Lending Partner facilitating the loan and they will come up with other sources of funding to cover the rest of the loan amount.
What does "Partner covers currency loss" mean & how could it affect my Kiva loans?
When lending internationally, the local currency in a borrower's country may lose some of its value compared to the US dollar -- requiring the partner to use more of its local currency to repay Kiva in USD. We offer some Lending Partners the option to protect themselves against currency fluctuations by choosing to pass on these losses to Kiva lenders. By bearing this risk, lenders protect the partner and its borrowers from catastrophic currency devaluations and contribute to the sustainability of their operations.
Potential for currency exchange loss is noted on every loan profile under the loan details:
"Yes" means the Lending Partner will cover any currency loss. Lenders will not bear losses due to currency fluctuation
"Partial" means that the Lending Partner has opted to cover losses only up to 10%. If the U.S. dollar appreciates more than 10% against the local currency, those losses will be passed onto lenders.
"No" means that the Lending Partner is not covering any currency losses and all losses will be passed onto lenders.
"N/A" means the Lending Partner disburses loans to borrowers in USD so their loans are not subject to any currency fluctuation.

Do Kiva borrowers pay any interest on their loans?
Yes, most Kiva borrowers do pay interest to our Lending Partners in some form. Kiva and Kiva lenders themselves do not receive interest on these loans.
Our partners collect interest from borrowers because there are many operational expenses associated with microfinance in developing markets, especially in rural areas. Many of Kiva's Lending Partners also provide additional services alongside their loan products such as business training, financial literacy lessons, or health services.
Kiva will not partner with an organization that charges unreasonable interest rates, and we require Lending Partners to fully disclose their rates. In addition, we only partner with microfinance institutions and organizations that have a social mission to serve the poor, unbanked, and underserved.
There are some 0% interest loans on Kiva, including all direct loans in the United States. To learn more about the interest rates Kiva borrowers pay, you can review the "Average cost to borrower" field on a loan profile.
We also encourage you to read the following articles if you are interested in further educating yourself on the topic: Microfinance 101 (https://www.kiva.org/microfinance), Top 10 things to know about microfinance (https://www.kiva.org/blog/top-10-things-to-know-about-microfinance), Microfinance interest rates explained (https://www.kiva.org/blog/whats-up-with-microfinance-interest-rates)

What is a risk rating?
There are many levels of risk associated with Kiva loans, which are explained on our website here: kiva.org/about/risk
The Lending Partner risk rating reflects the risk of institutional default associated with each of Kiva’s Lending Partners. A 0.5-star rating means the organization has a relatively higher risk of institutional default, while a 5-star rating indicates the organization is at a relatively lower risk of default, based on Kiva's analysis and the available information displayed in the Lending Partner section of every loan. Lending Partners with the lowest credit tier undergo a lighter level of due diligence and do not receive a risk rating; instead, in places where a risk rating would normally appear, these partners are labeled as “Experimental.” For more information, see "What is an Experimental Lending Partner?"
Direct loans also do not receive a formal risk rating. Instead, these loans are approved through “social underwriting”, where trustworthiness is determined by friends & family lending a portion of the loan request, or by a Kiva approved Trustee vouching for the borrower. Direct loans will appear as "Unrated" and lenders should always assume these loans represent the highest level of repayment risk on Kiva.

How are loans facilitated?
Kiva loans are facilitated through 2 models, partner and direct, that enable us to reach the greatest number of people around the world.
For partner loans, borrowers apply to a local Lending Partner, which manages the loan on the ground. Lending Partners are responsible for screening borrowers, disbursing loans, posting borrowers to the Kiva website for funding, collecting repayments and otherwise administering Kiva loans on the ground to borrowers.
For direct loans, borrowers apply through the Kiva website and may or may not be endorsed by a Trustee. Unlike Lending Partners, Trustees don't handle any financial transactions or have any duty to repay loans on behalf of their borrowers. Instead, Trustees take the role of providing support and business advice to their borrowers throughout the term of the loan.
More information about successive and concurrent loans
Lending Partners often work with borrowers over time to help them build credit and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow some partners the ability to relist a loan without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information. When this occurs, you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from an earlier loan.
Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Lending Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These additional loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. We trust our partners to determine whether a borrower has the means to be able to repay a successive or concurrent loan.
