LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
Dear Homes of Hope, I am a single mother of four children. I was born in Oaxaca and lived for some time in Veracruz, but in 2020 I made the difficult decision to come to Tijuana on my own in search of better job opportunities. I left my children in the care of my mother, and by the end of 2021, I was able to bring both my kids and my mom to live with me. In 2023, thanks to a loan from Fonacot, I paid the down payment for a small piece of land and bought wood. My coworkers also helped me build a modest house so we could stop paying rent. Living in our own place has brought us great joy. While I work, my mother takes care of the children, which gives me peace of mind. However, our home still has a dirt floor, and with my current income, we are only able to cover daily expenses. That is why I come to you with the hope of having a better home built through your program. I sincerely thank you for taking us into consideration.
