Maria Vanessa's story

Maria Vanessa, 28, has a free union relationship and has three children ages 12, 10, and 5 years old. Her partner has cleaning jobs. They live in Portoviejo, a place with beautiful places that mix countryside landscapes, beaches, and a varied cuisine that is attractive to the tourists visiting this beautiful place.

Maria Vanessa is a hard-working woman who seeks a way to earn her resources and use them to help her family get ahead. She makes a living selling clothing; she sells door to door, at her house, and on social media. She sells on credit and collects every eight days. In this way, she is managing to get ahead despite the difficulties she has in her life.

This loan is to buy sheets, pants, blouses, shirts, and children's clothing, among other items of clothing.
