Daysi Mercedes's story

Daysi Mercedes is 41 years old, she is married and has 4 children aged 24, 23, 15 and 3 years old. Her husband is a businessman and they live in the city of Portoviejo, a beautiful city with beaches and fields that are an unmatched attraction.

She and her husband are looking for a way to earn their income to get their family ahead, and she achieves this with the help of loans. For this reason, she is very grateful and asks for continued help.

They work selling clothes and shoes, their way of selling is door to door. She goes around the town and also sells from her house, while her husband goes out to sell throughout the city and nearby fields, where they already have a lot of customers. On weekends she and her husband go to other districts, to the fairs, because there is where they sell the most.

This loan is to buy t-shirts, shorts, trousers, shoes and sport shoes.
