Letter from the family:
We would love to qualify for a home of hope as where we are currently living is lent to us by my in-laws. Previously we rented a home but because of COVID-19 my husband stopped working as selling was very dangerous, along with a lack of tourism, and with problems with work. Because of this we were unable to cover the cost of monthly rent. My in-laws decided to lend us a small space where they had stored their tools. In that way we’ve been able to save the money we would have put towards rent and decided that it would be better to purchase a piece of land for our children’s future. The space that we have to live is small as it is 2 x 5 meters and we have only what is necessary inside. We have a three-year-old son and I am 24 weeks pregnant. My son, my husband and I, because of how small the space is, sleep in the same bed. It is because of this that we would like to have a little bit more space for the kids where they can run, play, and have enough space to sleep.
To earn a living my husband works many hours all day selling items on the beach as well as myself who helps by selling Jell-O near our home. Now because of my pregnancy I work only a few hours, but my husband helps me taking the Jell-O’s to sell them. It is difficult for me to walk for many hours because my legs swell up.
The payments for our land are difficult and heavy for us as they are so high monthly, but we are up to date on them and we are content because we know that it is for a better future for our children. It is because of this that we put in the effort every day to keep moving forward. We’ve been very motivated by our parents on both sides as they have helped us with the main part of the down payment for our land and we are also very thankful to them. It’s because of this that our way of thanking them is working every day to continue paying off the monthly payments on our land. My small family and I would be very happy to be able to qualify for a home of hope. We thank you so much that you are giving us the opportunity to share a little bit about our life and for your valuable time that you took in reading this.
