How a Capfin Loan Helped Valery with unexpected Home Repairs 

Valery Lucas’s story is a powerful testament to a woman who dares to brave the storm, rise above it, and emerge stronger. Her story is not only heart-warming but more than just a loan story.

Valery comes from a farm in Stellenbosch. A proud mom to two beautiful kids, she and her beloved husband share a mutual love for DIY. Valery and her husband’s appliances stopped working during loadshedding, soon thereafter their pipes and shower, also stopped working.

There’s no two ways about it: It was time for home renovations.

The DIY enthusiasts were excited about fixing their home, but a big storm hit the Western Cape town while renovating, which presented additional home repairs.

“Part of my roof flew off, causing damages to the house,” says Valery, as she shares a video showing the extensive damage the storm caused to the inside of her home and even her yard. 

Even though it hadn’t been planned, the couple realised they had no option but to do the additional home repairs. They also realised a small personal loan can be used for the unexpected home repairs.

Fortunately, Valery was familiar with Capfin. She had been with the registered credit provider since 2014 after a chance encounter while shopping.

“I found out about Capfin while shopping for maternity clothes at PEP,” she reveals. From that experience, Valery knew Capfin to be reliable, and a personal loan would help with her home renovations. She quickly applied on the phone, and the funds were in her account in less than a day. 

She was relieved the family could get back on track with what they needed to do to maintain their home.

“There are a lot of pieces in the house that are of sentimental value. I was concerned that I needed to finish the house before the stormy season caused more damage. The Capfin personal loan has been a great help. I could preserve the treasured furniture pieces my late first husband had left behind.”

“I confidently recommend Capfin.”

Valery found the financial support she needed after the storm and so can you. Valery’s courage and determination show that with responsible financial backing, anything is possible.. Thanks to a Capfin loan that can be used in planned and unexpected moments, she and her husband finally have a home the whole family can love, enjoy and be proud of.
