LETTER FROM THE FAMILY: 

First off I would like to greet you, and thank you for your attention. At the same time ask you for your help. We would love to receive a new home from you. We want a place to be able to give our children. It has been a very difficult for our children, living with such limited resources. 

We did not have the finances to pay for rent, for our land and build a small house on our land all at once. To be honest I lost some faith in God at times. But I remembered how faithful God has been and I remembered at one point I had gone down a bad road and was very rebellious. My mom even took my older daughter away from me for a while. Then I got to know the father of my younger daughter and it was very bad. But thanks to God I came to know the Word of God and now we go to church. Now the church is helping us a lot. 

God has completely changed our lives and we know our Living God now. I want my older daughter to come live with us but we don't have room in our little house. It would be so nice to have a home for us all to live in. 
God bless you all! Thank you for your time and help. God bless your work in helping others in need of a home. 

From, Laura y Cesar

Through this letter we would like to explain our situation and our great need for a home. We are asking for your help to be able to build our own home. We would love a home to have for our children. The house we do have is in bad condition. We lived in government housing but could not keep paying for that. So we had to make a small house for ourselves on the small land we bought. Now it hard to be paying for our land and this is where we ask for your help. We really need a safe home for our children with a good roof. 

My husband is the only one who works, I take care of the children. If God wills, it we hope we can have a new home. We would be so grateful with all our hearts. Even if we don't qualify we are thankful. 

May God continue to bless you in your work of helping others. 

God bless you, best wishes and hugs. The Aguilar Lopez Family

Hello Homes of Hope, 

We are very much in need. We have four children but my oldest left his studies to work and now is married and taking care of his own family. 

We are renting a small house now, we have been renting for about 20 years. We are getting tired of it so we decided to buy our own land. It is hard because my husband is the only one who works and the kids schooling is very expensive. We had just enough to buy the land. 

God has never abandoned us and we keep moving forward. We have had to pay rent and it would be so helpful to use that money to pay for our land instead. 

Thank you for helping needy families. You are like angles sent from God. Thank you.

To whom it may concern, 

I am Carol Evelyn Salez Mavil, 

I am 29 years old. Right now I am working part time because I am also taking classes at the University of Baja California. I am studying engineering. I am also a single mom with two beautiful girls. They are both in school. 

My situation brought me to your organization. We receive a very low income and now our living expenses are higher because I am going to school now. We had to move to our land and over time we finally were able to build a small little house. I am still paying off the material we used to make our walls. 

I have really amazing neighbors and they help me with the girls while I am in class. We had to leave our rental house because once I started taking classes we couldn't pay for the rent and my classes at the same time. I really want a safe place for my girls so they can have a better future. 

This is why I am asking for help, for my daughters. I leave you now, as a mom desiring the best for her daughters.

Right now I am at home taking care of the boys who are in kindergarten now. It is hard for us to pay for our land and also rent. 

We are so thankful for your time and we await your answer. We will qualify for a home if God wants. God bless you!
