Juan D\u00edaz lleg\u00f3 de Honduras en el a\u00f1o 2006 con el anhelo de salir adelante. Tres a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s, en 2009, mientras lavaban ropa en una lavander\u00eda sobre South Boulevard, Juan y Nancy notaron una peque\u00f1a oficina justo al lado. Era la Cooperativa Latina. \u201cEntramos as\u00ed, sin pensarlo mucho\u201d, recuerda Juan. Con apenas diez d\u00f3lares abrieron su primera cuenta de ahorros, sin imaginar que ese sencillo momento marcar\u00eda el inicio de una historia de crecimiento y acompa\u00f1amiento.<\/p>

Durante a\u00f1os, esa cuenta permaneci\u00f3 abierta. Cuando regresaron tiempo despu\u00e9s y confirmaron que a\u00fan segu\u00edan siendo socios, decidieron comenzar a ahorrar de verdad y crecer junto a la cooperativa. Hoy, Juan y Nancy hablan de las facilidades y oportunidades que encontraron, especialmente para la comunidad latina que, como ellos, no siempre recibe apoyo en los bancos tradicionales. \u201cLa Cooperativa Latina nos dio esa facilidad, como inmigrantes que queremos emprender, comprar carro, comprar casa y salir adelante.\u201d Desde entonces, Juan y Nancy no solo crecieron como socios, sino tambi\u00e9n como familia y como empresarios. Comenzaron con una cuenta de ahorros y, con el tiempo, accedieron a pr\u00e9stamos de veh\u00edculo, pr\u00e9stamos de vivienda, propiedades de inversi\u00f3n y distintos productos financieros que les permitieron construir estabilidad y confianza en su futuro.<\/p>

Paralelo a ese crecimiento, naci\u00f3 su empresa. Juan empez\u00f3 trabajando en construcci\u00f3n junto a un compa\u00f1ero, comprando equipo y aprendiendo el oficio. Cuando ese socio se retir\u00f3, Nancy se sum\u00f3 de lleno al proyecto. Fueron a\u00f1os de sacrificio extremo: jornadas que comenzaban de madrugada, terminaban a las once de la noche y dejaban poco espacio para el descanso. \u201cDorm\u00edamos poco, com\u00edamos ah\u00ed mismo y segu\u00edamos\u201d, recuerda Nancy. \u201cFueron cinco, quiz\u00e1s diez a\u00f1os de mucho sacrificio.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

De ese esfuerzo naci\u00f3 JN Gutters & Construction, LLC, una compa\u00f1\u00eda especializada principalmente en roofing, gutters y siding. Hoy, no solo trabajan para sacar adelante a sus propias familias, sino que tambi\u00e9n generan empleo, subcontratan a otros trabajadores y contribuyen directamente al bienestar de muchas familias en la comunidad. \u201cEstamos muy contentos\u201d, dice Juan. \u201cSabemos que hay pan en nuestra mesa y en la mesa de muchas familias m\u00e1s.\u201d<\/p>

La experiencia en la cooperativa ha sido una parte fundamental de su camino. Ambos destacan el trato humano y respetuoso que reciben cada vez que visitan la oficina de South Boulevard. \u201cAqu\u00ed no lo ven a uno por c\u00f3mo viste\u201d, comparte Nancy. \u201cSiempre hay una atenci\u00f3n especial.\u201d Juan coincide: \u201cDesde que uno entra hasta que sale, la atenci\u00f3n es muy buena en todos los departamentos.\u201d Juan y Nancy no solo conf\u00edan en la cooperativa, tambi\u00e9n la recomiendan activamente. Amigos, compa\u00f1eros de trabajo y personas nuevas en el pa\u00eds escuchan siempre el mismo consejo: \u201cVayan a la Cooperativa Latina.\u201d Muchos llegan incluso preguntando directamente por empleados que Juan les ha recomendado, reflejo de una confianza construida a lo largo de los a\u00f1os.<\/p>

Hoy, al mirar atr\u00e1s, el sentimiento es de profunda gratitud. \u201cNunca imaginamos d\u00f3nde \u00edbamos a estar ni de d\u00f3nde Dios nos iba a sacar\u201d, dice Juan. \u201cCuando pasamos por esos lugares y recordamos, es algo muy lindo.\u201d Su mensaje para otros empresarios es claro y sencillo: hacer las cosas bien, ser honestos y no rendirse. Mirando al futuro, Juan y Nancy esperan seguir creciendo, no bajar los brazos y continuar aportando a la comunidad, de la mano de una instituci\u00f3n que ha caminado con ellos desde el principio.<\/p>

La historia de Juan y Nancy es una historia de perseverancia, trabajo duro y confianza. Una historia que demuestra que, con apoyo, oportunidad y compromiso, los sue\u00f1os s\u00ed se pueden construir, incluso comenzando con solo diez d\u00f3lares y una visita inesperada desde una lavander\u00eda.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
