LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
Dear Homes of Hope team, Four years ago, we arrived in Rosarito after my partner found a job there. At first, we rented a place, but over time we decided to look for a piece of land. With much effort, we managed to buy one, and we’ve had it for about a year and a half now. However, about a year and a half ago, our lives changed completely. My son began to get sick — he was vomiting, had headaches, and later started having seizures. We had several tests done, even outside the hospital, to rule out an infection in his brain. A CT scan revealed he had a brain tumor. In October, we were referred to San Diego, where they told us it was malignant —a high-grade diffuse glioma, stage IV— and could not be operated on. Since then, everything has changed. My son is no longer the joyful, playful child he once was, and I am no longer the carefree mother I used to be. We went to Mexicali, where he received chemotherapy. During that time, he couldn’t walk; I had to carry him, bathe him, change him, feed him, and care for him like a baby. He began to forget things and had trouble speaking clearly. Meanwhile, my daughter stayed in Rosarito with her father, and expenses piled up — rent, medicine, and other costs. We eventually moved in with my sister-in-law to pay only half of the rent and utilities. That is why we are asking for your support in helping us have our own space, where my son can rest and receive his treatments in a clean and peaceful environment. It would be a tremendous blessing, as we also need to buy medications that the hospital no longer provides. At the moment, I sell Jafra products by catalog. In May, my son had another CT scan, and unfortunately, the tumor continues to grow. Still, we have faith that he will be healed. I keep praying to God for strength to keep going, as it has not been easy. Nathan wants to continue studying; if possible, he will start middle school soon. Having our own home would mean so much to us, as transportation passes nearby and he could attend school more easily. Sending you a warm hug from afar.
