LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
My name is Yazmín Guadalupe Gutiérrez Zamudio, I am 31 years old, and I am originally from Michoacán. I have lived in Tijuana, Baja California, for 10 years, in the La Gloria neighborhood. I am a single mother to a 12-year-old daughter named Yazmín Maderos Gutiérrez, who is currently in her first year of middle school. She is a dedicated student with excellent grades. I have been the sole provider for my daughter since she was 10 months old. Her father has never supported her financially or maintained any contact. I currently work in an industrial dining room, and until recently, I sold goods at street markets twice a week. We live on a plot of land I own, where, with the help of my brother, his wife, and a friend, I built a small 4x4-meter wooden house. We used materials left on the land by its previous owner and other items I could afford to purchase. However, the house lacks a proper floor, the roof leaks, and we do not have a bathroom, so I use my brother’s facilities as he lives nearby. My family moved to Tijuana 17 years ago under tragic circumstances. One of my sisters, who was 17 at the time, fled Michoacán to escape an abusive relationship. She intended to cross into the United States for a better life, leaving her young daughter with my parents. Unfortunately, during the crossing, she was involved in a car accident and passed away shortly after arriving at a hospital in San Diego. It took us a month to find her body and bring it back to Michoacán for burial. My parents later returned to Tijuana to confirm her identity through DNA testing. Over time, my parents tried to reclaim custody of my sister’s daughter, but out of fear of retaliation, they handed her over to the family of my sister’s ex-partner. For years, we traveled back and forth between Michoacán and Tijuana, but eventually, we settled permanently in this city. I would truly appreciate your support with a home since as I have mentioned we have gone through many difficulties. Without further ado, I say goodbye and I hope that God always blesses you.
