LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
My name is Flor Idalia Sepúlveda Sotelo, and together with my husband, José Alfredo Ochoa Zambrano, we are requesting your support to build a house, as we do not have the means to do so. Only my husband works, while I take care of our daughter and take her to school. She is currently in the second grade. My husband’s income goes toward paying for utilities such as water and electricity, food, school expenses, and the monthly payment for the land we are purchasing. Sometimes, we cannot make the payment on time and have to delay it by a week. Our dream is to give our daughter her own room for privacy, as we currently live in a borrowed house that consists of only one room. In this space, we have everything: a stove, refrigerator, table, beds, and other belongings. Our daughter often asks when we will move to our land, which is only five minutes away, but we don’t know how to answer her because we cannot afford to build a house. We hope to move to our land as soon as possible because the house we are currently living in is up for sale. We don’t want to find ourselves without a place to sleep, as has happened twice before when we were asked to leave the homes we were living in. It has been challenging to explain to our daughter why we have had to leave the houses where she has grown up, especially since they were never ours. Our greatest wish is to provide our daughter with a stable home and a bright future. We deeply appreciate your time and attention in reading our letter. May God bless you.
