Lisandra, age 55, is a visionary woman who is enthusiastic about getting ahead with her family. She is divorced, and she is living with her son, her daughter-in-law, and a grandson. Her humble house is two stories of mixed structure.
Her way of life is selling clothes. During years of experience she has managed to gain customer loyalty. She gets new customers because she provides ease of payment.
She is looking for a loan to get more clothing merchandise in order to be able to sell. This way her earnings will improve, and she will use them to contribute to the household. There are time that her son has scarce work. Another motivation for Lisandra to struggle is to be able to fix the structure of her house so that her family is able to live more comfortably.
