Karol Melissa's story

Karol Melissa is 27 years old, married, still does not have children, and her spouse is a merchant. They live in the city of Portoviejo, a place of lovely rural landscapes, beaches, and friendly and hardworking people.

She is a hardworking woman who, with her spouse, does everything she can to earn an honest living. She is an certified public accountant and also works in sales. She has a grocery store, a business which allows her to get ahead.

But, in their home they still live with many limitations and it is for this that she needs the loan since she hopes to fix up her kitchen and build a bathroom and laundry, which was destroyed, and this causes her a lot of trouble.

This loan is to purchase construction materials, tiles, bath sets, a sink with taps, pipes, and other materials.
