LETTER FROM THE FAMILY: Hello Homes of Hope, I would like to send you a warm greeting and I hope you are doing well. My name is Karen Lizbeth Villa, I am 32 years old and I am a single mother of four children: Diego (17), Daniel (15), Derek (11) and Dylan (2). My four children live with me. Below I share my story. As you can imagine, we are just another family with limited resources, and to tell the truth, we have gone through a lot of hardships and complications in recent years. Last year, my son Daniel, 15 years old, had a major appendectomy at the Rosarito General Hospital, where he almost died. The surgery was very serious. Things got complicated after he left the operating room. He stayed in the hospital, caught a bacteria when he was intubated, and 15 days later he went back to the operating room for lung surgery because he had a very severe pneumonia. When he left, he was very fragile and continued to have fevers. He was hospitalized for two months and then we were transferred to Tijuana for evaluation and testing because he was losing a lot of weight and the fever wouldn't go away. My son tested positive for active skin contact. He was released with six months of treatment and home care. For now, we continue to go to the hospital and the health center. The last time I was in the hospital day and night, my children were in the care of an aunt. I had to leave the house where I was staying because I no longer had the money to pay the rent. I sold many things to cover many of the expenses we had as a family. They lent me a house next to where I have my land, and that is how I was able to catch up with the payments on my land not long ago. The lady who lends me the house has already asked me to leave the place because she needs to finish the construction because she only has one big room and one bathroom. I am a merchant in the overheels and I publish things through social media because I cannot leave my children alone for long periods of time and I have to take them to school and at the same time take care of Daniel. I share that I have not been able to save to be able to rent and much less to build on my land because everything is very expensive and I have to cover many expenses such as food, services, schooling, transportation, among others; this is why I am asking for your support with all my heart. It is very ugly to live like this and go through hardship and not even be able to be under a roof. Without further ado, thank you for taking the time to read my story and request. I would love to have the privilege of receiving a home, it would make my heart so happy. God bless you, Homes of Hope.
