Dear Lenders, I called Francis today and he informed that he has been bed ridden for the better part of last year. He has now recovered and he will start repaying soon. I will call him again after two weeks to check on his progress. Thank you for your patience.

He lives in central Queensland, Australia. He has just had two hip replacements and even though he is still recovering, he has been busy welding more cages. We have 4 adult children and 4 grandchildren.

Congratulations on getting your loan. We are excited for you. My brother-in-law is a very good welder, and he makes branding irons for cattle, movable hen houses and mobile dog cages in his spare time. There is a big demand for them in his area.
