LETTER FROM THE FAMILY: Hello, Homes of Hope. My name is Rosalinda Carbajal Camacho. I am a widow with two daughters, ages ten and four. We are in need because we can no longer afford to rent a small space in my mother’s house. My life changed after the passing of my husband, and I now work alone to provide my daughters with the best education I can. Some time ago, I left my office job to care for my husband through his illness. I started doing nails, which allowed me to spend more time at home. However, last year, his condition, liver cirrhosis, worsened, and he spent months in the hospital. I could no longer work as much because I needed to care for him. We moved into a room that my mother offered us. His condition worsened in December, and he passed away in January. Since then, I’ve been doing my best to move forward. My daughters miss him deeply, as he always dedicated his time to them. Our dream was to build on our piece of land, but his illness prevented us from doing so. We managed to level the land, but I haven’t been able to return to work full-time since my daughters need me now more than ever. I work during their school hours and on weekends at a borrowed space. My greatest wish is to have a home of our own where we can live and where I can work from home as I used to, so I don’t miss my daughters’ growth. I am grateful to God for the lessons and for strengthening our faith. I trust that His will provides us with a home. I also thank God for people like you, who bring hope to our lives. I sincerely thank you for the spiritual support, and I pray that God allows us to have a home for my daughters and me.
