This is Ileana, a woman who is a valuable support for her family. In her mind, to be able to count on the backing of these two institutions has been key in strengthening her convenience store. She is aware of the support from her family which is also very valuable to her.
At this time she has visited these two lending institutions to express her gratitude and apply for a loan to buy juices, sweets, sodas and other groceries. This way she can increase her inventory and make her business more competitive.
Ileana sees herself as the owner of a larger grocery store.
