For Melinda Chelmowski, one small loan made a big difference. Melinda, a single mother of modest means, needed it to transform a room in her rural trailer home into an office so she could start her own business advocating for people with developmental disabilities. Accion believed in Melinda and her passion. Today her success has helped Melinda create the time and income to meet one of her most important goals: home schooling her daughter.
