    Dear Lenders,
    This is Analin Saturria McGregor with Zidisha's Communications team.
    Samwel is late on his loan repayments due to his wife being hospitalized. Her health has deteriorated over the last couple of weeks. She is still in the hospital and Samwel is taking care of his wife full time. This means his business has been shut down for some time. Samwel is hoping to get back to his regular activities (and catch up with his loan repayments) once his wife recovers. He is hoping to accomplish this without having to ask for a grace period. We applaud his commitment and are glad he's able to take the time to take care of his ailing wife. We intend to remain in contact with Mr. Nganga over the next couple of weeks and will keep you informed on his wife's health and his return to business.
