LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
Dear Homes of Hope, I came to Tijuana from the state of Guerrero in search of a better life for my family, but I arrived carrying the deep pain of one of the greatest losses I have ever experienced. Shortly before moving, my brother passed away after a long battle for his life. I spent everything I had trying to save him, but in the end, I had to accept that God was in control and that His plans were greater than my own. Losing my brother left me heartbroken, and although I do my best to move forward each day, it is still a pain that is difficult to overcome. I am a single mother of three children, and I also care for my 78-year-old mother. In addition, my two nieces, the daughters of my late brother, spend most of their time with us. Although I do not have legal custody because their mother has not granted it, they live with us from Monday through Saturday and only spend Sundays with their mother. I work hard to provide for my family, but our income is barely enough to cover our basic needs. We are currently living in a rented home, and thanks to God's provision through a cousin, our rent has been paid through November. While we are deeply grateful for this blessing, we do not know how we will be able to continue paying rent after that, and the uncertainty weighs heavily on us. My greatest hope is to provide my children, my mother, and my nieces with a safe, stable, and dignified home where we can live in peace and begin a new chapter filled with hope. Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read our story and for considering our application. May God continue to bless you and use you to bring hope to families facing difficult circumstances like ours.
