LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
Dear Homes of Hope team, we are a family of five who moved from Mexico City eight years ago in search of a better life. Since arriving, we have experienced both blessings and hardships. We were able to purchase a plot of land, but our financial situation has not allowed us to build or live there. Through this letter, we want to share our testimony of how God has taken hold of our lives and broken us in order to strengthen our faith. When we arrived in Rosarito, I—Sarai—started attending a Christian church, but my family was not open to it, so I distanced myself again. I became bitter, constantly complaining, tired of the daily routine. That changed in May 2025 when we felt the need to go back to church and began attending Calvary Rosarito. The most beautiful part was that it was my husband who first felt the calling and encouraged us to go. What we didn’t know was that God was preparing us for the trial ahead. On May 21, our daughter Emily began showing signs of infection and was rushed to the ER; on June 10, she was diagnosed with either leukemia or lupus. Our world collapsed, but the following day her diagnosis changed to thrombocytopenic purpura with pneumonia. A week later she was discharged, but sadly relapsed and worsened. Since there were no hospital beds available, they sent her home with only medication. Desperate, we traveled to Mexico City, where she was admitted urgently. During all of this, my husband remained in Rosarito, but he was never alone—the Word of God and our church family supported him, prayed with him, and gave him encouragement. At the hospital, by my daughter's side, I repented for not being thankful—for life, for health, for family time, and for all of God’s goodness. I used to complain about money, not realizing I already had what mattered most. I broke down in that hospital, asking God, “Why me?” And the answer He gave my husband was 1 Peter 4:12–17. I accepted the trial and thanked God for it—for opening my eyes and teaching me to value what truly matters. Emily continues receiving treatment, tests, and checkups. Even though doctors say the illness is now part of her body, I believe God will heal her completely. At this moment, the cost of tests, specialists, and travel to Tijuana has left us financially strained. That’s why we ask, from the bottom of our hearts, for your help in building a home of hope. This is not just a house—it is the dream of our family and the beginning of a home filled with blessings and faith for a better future. Thank you sincerely for your time and for allowing us to share our story.
