Letter from the family:
Hello! We are a family from Guerrero Mexico. We came to Tijuana in search of better opportunities and work. When we first got here it was hard to find a stable job, so we worked at many things that gave us money to go through the month. Because our income wasn’t constant it was hard for us to pay rents so we would stay wherever people would allow us to or where the rent was very low but then they would kick us out. One day someone recommended we acquire land and start making land payments instead of wasting the money in rents and moving around. So with a lot of sacrifice and asking for borrowed money we did our downpayment and started doing the monthly payments. We gathered some wood and we built a little shack in our land. Finally we had something that belonged to us! But then the rainy season came and our house wasn’t strong enough. The house started to fall apart and we had to go with friends to find a safe place. When we went back the next day all of our stuff was wet and the little house was destroyed. We had to start all over again. It was very hard and I didn’t have the courage to do so, but we did. Then someone told us about Homes of Hope and we applied. It’s been a long journey and we’ve had a lot of uncertainty throughout the years but we are so excited, finally the Lord has heard our request and has answered our prayers!! Thank you so much for coming to build a Home of Hope for us!
