I’m not giving up – not by any means! – on this goal, but not only is the site almost always out of loans these days, I am completely out of money. I withdrew about a third of the money I had tied up in loans, but I plan to keep loaning with the rest. Maybe just not right away. I also gave my stepmother a gift certificate for Kiva as a Christmas present, and she LOVED it. I hope she keeps loaning!
