Stories of Success

  • My life is completely changed. The loan transformed my life, allowing me to be the chef I always wanted to be and make food that I'm proud to serve.

  • There was more to it than the loan, than the money. At Community Micro Lending, I learned how to be wise with that money. I'm engaged, I'm out there in the world. I feel like I have a purpose, I feel unlimited.

  • I was lent $4970 which I invested in tools and got my truck on the road and my business has gone from success to success. I don't know if I'd be in as good a position without Community Micro Lending.

    Thank you for helping me succeed.
