Jordan Gabriel's story

Jordan Gabriel is 19 years old. He is in a common law relationship and currently does not have any children. His partner works in the home. They live in his parent-in-law's house. They live in the city of Portoviejo, which was affected by the earthquake on April 16, 2016. The city is rich in the production of vegetables and tropical fruit for internal consumption.
Jordan Gabriel is an auto-mechanic. He works in a mechanic shop where he is paid for his work on Saturdays. As well, along with his mother, he has a small grocery store, where they sell a wide variety of supplies and also prepare and sell empanadas, corviches, and snacks ready to be served or ready to fry packaged in disposable containers, and fish soup. These help them to make sales, which they deliver to homes.
In his free time, he also makes deliveries on his motorcycle.
This loan is to buy cheese, chicken, cold cuts, plantain, fish, plantain chips, soda, water, flour, eggs, milk, tuna, etc.
His dreams are to have his own mechanic shop and that his family will have good health.
