fish for all!

 
Kiva sent me an email this morning: I had money to lend again!
Best of all, there was enough in that account to even cover the lending fee, so Kiva wouldn't have to do so.
Perfect!
That meant I had a question to answer: who would I choose?
Well, as it turned out, that wasn't such a hard choice after all.
I knew I would be dining on seafood tonight, thanks to Smitty, my brother.
 
When I read that Marie of Sierra Leone was requesting a loan to purchase more fish to sell, I knew that was the right one for me!
Right place, right time.
That makes the twelfth open loan that I have on Kiva right now.
All of the other 145 loans I've made over the years have been repaid, so those are all regarded as closed.
The mother of four is still needed a few more backers to fund her loan.
I made sure to post a few words of support on her wall.
Hope that encourages others to help her.

I just checked... her loan is fully funded, weeks ahead of the deadline! Hooray!
