    Hello Lenders,
    Am humbled for another chance you,ve allowed me to apply my third loan from you. i take this oppotunity to thank you for the suport you,ve been doing me. every loan that you give me i allways pay knowing that Zidisha changes a person life. Therefore, i will not hesitate to apply this time. the money i have been given has taken me to new level because my business is now doing well than ever. Am hoping to be a different for my work neighbors because am lifting my business to another class and high level. So i wish you lender that you will still lend me wholeheartedly. Thank you.

    Dear lenders,
    This is Analin Saturria McGregor, Communications Associate at Zidisha.
    Johnson contacted us yesterday with some very sad news. On April 25, his house was broken into and a substantial amount of his household items taken. Luckily, he and his family were not harmed.
    Johnson has needed to pull some extra funds to replace the stolen furniture in his home, such as beds. This has meant being late on his current loan repayment. Johnson hopes to get back on his feet soon after this setback and resume his loan repayments as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding and support. We wish Johnson and his family the best and hope they remain safe.
