Letter from the family:
Hello, my name is Claudia and I’m 35 years old. There are 6 people in our family, my husband, Manuel, and our 4 children; Emmanuel, Kenay, David, and Keyla. I want to tell you a little of my family’s story. In 2018 we were a pretty happy family, living in my parent’s home. We didn’t have a lot but we were happy. The community that we were living in had a lot of construction going up around it. As more things began to be built, and land was moved around, houses around us began to fall. In total, 130 homes were destroyed, including my parent’s home that they had worked so hard to have. We needed to find somewhere else to live and stayed somewhere for a year before we were asked to leave because they were going to rent the home to one of their family members instead. We then moved somewhere else for 2 years, but then were asked to leave when the home was sold. We decided it would be best to buy land and start to build our own home but it didn’t come easy and was very expensive. We currently live on our property and my husband built us a small room that we all share together. We would really love a home, we want our kids to have their own space. We just don’t want to get rained on anymore, with that, we would all be happy. God bless you!
