LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
My name is José Antonio Ahuelican Cisneros, and I am from Guerrero, a state in southern Mexico. From a young age, I worked in the fields to help support my household while I was studying. I am the fifth of seven siblings, and as the oldest male, I was responsible for contributing to the family’s finances, as we had limited resources. At 26, due to a lack of job opportunities in my state, I came to Tijuana. The day after I arrived, I started looking for work to continue helping my parents financially. Seven months into my job at a factory, I met my wife and my daughter, who was two years old at the time. Initially, my wife and I spent five years renting and moving from place to place. Then, due to a need from our church and our own situation, they allowed us to live in a small room in the church building. Due to lack of space, we had to give away many of our belongings. Our daughter’s teacher suggested that my wife quit her job so she could focus more on her education, as we were not giving her enough attention. We tried it for a month, and our daughter’s grades improved significantly. We knew it would affect our finances, but it was necessary for her well-being. After much effort, three and a half years later, we were able to buy a piece of land, which we are still paying for. Due to our financial situation, we have not been able to build a home yet, but we continue to clean and take care of the land. Therefore, we kindly request your help in building a house for our family. We are grateful in advance for the hard work and efforts you put into this ministry and for the opportunity you give us. I wish God blesses you greatly.
