LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
Dear Homes of Hope team, At this moment, my family and I are going through a very difficult situation because our home was built with pieces of wood, the roof leaks when it rains, and the cold comes in through the gaps in the walls. Living this way is very hard. I am a single mother and do not have the financial resources to replace the roof, as I live day by day. My mother lives with me and my two daughters, and I am the provider for our household. I earn a living by selling candy, frozen treats, and homemade food. What I make only covers the basics—water delivered by truck, electricity, and groceries. I try to limit expenses and make the money stretch, but unexpected things always happen, especially illnesses. Despite all these challenges, I do not lose hope that one day God will make my dream come true: to have a safe and dignified home for my family. Thank you very much for your kindness and attention.
