Jesabel (28) is happily married to Walter, and they are blessed with three children. Her husband works as an Angkas driver, and when he has no bookings, he helps her with the store, as they do not employ any workers in order to save on expenses. Alongside managing her business, Jesabel also serves as a Barangay Health Worker in their community.
She began her business online four years ago before deciding to display her products inside the market. For the past two years, she has been arranging her items on a cloth on the floor so customers can easily view them. She now has a reserved stall on the upper level of the market, where she plans to transfer soon so she can finally have her own physical store, even if it means paying rent. Despite the simplicity of her current setup, she feels fortunate, as she is able to earn well. On slow days, she earns around £63.47, while on busy days her sales range from £101.56 to £126.94. She opens her store daily and sells various styles of slippers, shoes, and sling bags.
Jesabel applied for a loan from Lendwithcare to help her prepare for the move to her new physical store. She plans to purchase a wider variety of designs of bags, slippers, and shoes to create a more attractive display for her customers, especially as the new space will be fuller and better organised. The loan will enable her to expand her product range and present her merchandise more professionally.
