Miriam Mariana and her family live in the city of Portoviejo, a place of lovely rural landscapes, beaches, and a rich and varied cuisine which is an attraction for tourists who visit this beautiful city all year round.
She is a hardworking woman who, with her spouse, seeks the way to earn their resources and, with them, to get their family ahead. She works selling sheets, clothing and shoes from catalogs. She sells at her house and on social media, and when they place their orders, she brings them to deliver where her customers request. She sells on credit and collects weekly. Part of the loan is to repair a taxi which they have and with which her spouse makes trips through the whole city.
So, she manages to continue on and this is thanks to the help of the loans, for which she is very grateful. This loan is to purchase sheets, pants, t-shirts, blouses, shoes, and parts the taxi needs.
