Her business is important because, from it, she feeds the family.She likes it when she sees that she has a lot of cactus production. Customers arrive by trailer for the cactus to export it. She uses a part of the earnings to reinvest and the other part for food and another part for the bills at home. Her dreams and hopes are to buy a car to use for her work and that her daughter is well and grows healthy. She is emotional about the loan that she is going to receive.
