Letter from the family:
Hello! We are the family Robles Aguayo. We are a small family from the south of Mexico. We came to Tijuana in search of a better life. Our family here promised to help us establish but in the end they left us on our own and when we had acquired some things to start a sales business a fake friend stole everything we had. We ended up in the streets again because we didn’t have enough income to pay rent. We’ve gone through hunger and cold and living wherever people let us stay. My days and nights have been dark for not having a place to live or any stability. We’ve been in Tijuana for the past 9 years struggling and working hard trying to give a good life to our children but it’s been very hard. One of my daughters has a lot of sight issues and they make fun of her at school but a friend recently helped us to pay for her prescription glasses thank God. Me and my husband are both type 1 diabetic. We have all the symptoms of very advanced diabetes. Our feet and our bones hurt and sometimes we can’t see clearly when our sugar is high. I’ve already lost mobility in my right hand and apart from diabetes my husband also suffers from high blood pressure. It’s hard for us to get hired in a normal job because of all of our health issues. Right now I work cleaning a house 3 days a week and my husband works helping this same family doing some errands for them and fixing things in their house. He also works sometimes doing small construction jobs. Thank you so much for considering our family for a Home of Hope!!
