This is 36-year-old Carlos. He is in a common law marriage with the mother of his two daughters, with whom he lives in a small house that has been lent to them. Carlos has always been described as being honest, jovial, hardworking, and focused on his job doing finishings, painting, and bricklaying. All of it he does for his family's wellbeing. This humble activity is his only source of income, since he doesn't have more than a primary education to obtain a more formal type of work.
Carlos doesn't want his children to go through the same thing, and that is why he works so hard to be able to provide them with a professional career.
Carlos is seeking a loan to buy work tools and supplies to provide a service to his customers that is fast and high quality. In this way, he aspires to making his service into a great source of family income, providing them with financial stability.
