Letter from the family: To whom it may concern, We come as a family requesting for your help to build a home, since our income is not sufficient to cover the everyday needs and build something for my family. My husband is the only support in our family, and we can barely make it to meet our everyday needs. In the room that we live my son constantly gets sick, because it is extremely cold and wet, so he suffers bronchitis that takes a toll on his health, our health, and finances as well. It will be a great blessing if you could help us built a house. You are more than welcome to come and visit us any time you want.

Letter from the family:

Good day and thank you for taking the time to read this letter that shares a little about of life and why we are reaching out for some help. There are four members in our family and our story starts seven years ago. We met at my sisters in law wedding and few months later we decided to start living together, we rented a small room, both of us worked, but then I got pregnant with my oldest daughter Ashley that is now five years old and goes to preschool, she will be six years old on November, then I was pregnant with my second child and we decided to move and live in our land that we purchased with all our savings and effort. A neighbor shared about Homes of Hope, and we decided to contact them, to try to qualify for some help, since we really need it to provide my family a better future and life. This February we decided to get legally married and start our story again. My husband is the only support in our home, he works as a cook since I take care of my children full time. We are an incredibly happy family; we stay together through the happy and not so happy moments. Thanks in advance for helping us grow old together knowing that we can provide with your help a better future for our family. May God bless you.

Letter from the family:

To whom it may concern, I arrived to Tijuana 18 years ago and got married, we were young and did not think about savings, or having a home for a family, as our marriage developed we gt pregnant and decided to start paying for government housing but our debt never decreased on the contrary it increased and we had to give it back and our account for housing support with the government as cancelled. We did not want to start paying rent again but there was not an option since we couldn’t afford to pay for the house anymore. After some time we decided to purchase a piece of land and then we heard about homes of hope that they were able to help us. In our current situation the only one that works at the moment is my husband and he has to take care of all the bills and payments leaving us with no money to build anything for our children. I am thankful that you have in your heart the willingness to help us by building a house for us

Letter from the family:

Three years ago, I separated from my first husband, Liliana’s dad. I decided to separate from him, because he never wanted to build something for us and achieve anything together, I got a job to encourage him to have saving and start building a small home for us as a family, but it stayed only as plans. I got separated and continued to work and got a second job, because it was my dream to be able to build a house to have better opportunities, I hired a handyman to help me built, but I could only afford to make the foundation and some plumber. At this moment I had the opportunity to manage an OXXO store with my new partner, so we oversaw a store in Rosarito and we started saving again to continue to build. We both were working double shifts and we decided to ask to be transferred to another store in Tijuana to have time to be with my daughter during this time I realized I was pregnant, I went to review my credit score with the government for housing aid, but it was not enough for us to get the aid. The store that we worked at was robbed several times, so we asked for another change of store, but I got maternity leave and the people taking care of the store started handling the finances in a wrong way, so all the shortages were needed to be paid by us as managers. A month before my c-section, I needed to go back to work, because we were supposed to pay all the shortages. During this time, we were living with my mother in her small house, and we could not manage to live there the four us, so I decided to go and rent a house, it was hard because renting meant we would not have any money to build on our land, it came to the point that we worked only to pay debts.

We decided to leave the store in 2020 and I started working in a restaurant three times a week, my husband was hired an UBER driver and I sell things in the swap meet on Tuesdays.

We met HOH personnel at the restaurant when they went to have dinner, after being working there for some time. It has been a constant question since I started the process because I know there are people that needed the help far more then me, but I know God has the perfect timing and purpose. I admire everyone that is part of this ministry and everything that you do to bless each family.

Letter from the family:

Hello Good morning to whom it may concern, this letter is to share with you our need for a home. The day that we purchased our land all of our savings went into the first payment; some of those savings went into paying four pieces of wood in order to start building something that we could leave in. We were able to build a small room which is in pretty bad conditions because water comes in when it rains through the floor and it leaks through the wood that it's becoming rotten with the humidity, having mice and animals coming into the house through every single opportunity we have not been able to fix it. We have to support both of your children and they have been getting sick because of the mold that is building all around. I would like to ask you for your help and support to achieve a better life for our family. May God bless you.

We are from Oaxaca, we arrived to Tijuana 4 years ago, the main reason we moved was because of living and economic situation wasn’t the best. We have two daughters, and we want to give the best we can to them. The main situation we have right now is that we can't afford to give them a good quality life since the only supporter in the family is my husband. Being able to receive a home of hope will facilitate us to give our children a better life, since with the money my husband makes, we can only afford to pay for the family expenses, land and rent. We started building a little wood room, and we are moving there as soon as possible in order to stop paying rent, because it takes a toll in our finances. Thank you very much Homes of Hope for bringing this help to us, may God bless you abundantly.

Hello my name is Gabriela Esquivel Casarrubias, I am from Acapulco, Guerrero. I came to Tijuana seeking new job and life opportunities and a better future for my family. In my current living situation we live as a family, my dad, mom, nephew and niece with their baby, my husband, my two children and myself. When it rains it pours and drips everywhere, since the tarp we have as a roof has a lot of rips. When I bought the land there was a wall already, there is where I put the pieces of wood to make a wall and my neighbor let me use their fence to use as another wall. I am still paying for my land and paying for my children’s school tuition do it has been really hard to be able to build anything since the house expenses are a lot for our salary. The ones that work in my family are my dad, husband and myself, my dad works as a construction worker and my husband works as a taxi driver, I work with the beauty in a beauty parlor and she let's me go and take care of my kids whenever is needed, my mom is not able to work because of her sickness, she is diagnosed with diabetes and she has to take care of my nephew during the day as well. At this moment I'm not able to take my child to school because his school l it's far away and I'm pregnant and my pregnancy has been causing struggles in my help so I'm afraid that I might loose him on the way or just faint. I just hope that you will be able to help us to make a happy and a safe place for my children and my family many blessin

May God bless you now and forever.

Letter from the family:

The reason that I am writing to you because on October 2019, I took the decision to turn around for good my son's and my life, since we were in a very stressful and difficult situation that was affecting both of us to the extreme, since my son Dylan Eduardo was always sick, and we couldn't figure out what was causing his sickness. Dylan assisted to The California's Children's Hospital, since he requires special treatment for at least two years in order to keep his asthma under control and rhinitis, but I was only able to afford one dose in September 2020, because after my job became scarce, and I wasn't able to provide and since March 2020 I had my interview with Homes of Hope, but we were entering quarantine and everything was paused. During the interview I was given several phone numbers, and they commented to keep in touch to see where we were standing with our application, some people tried to make me lose hope, but I continued to pray and believing that God was going to help me. In December, I was infected with COVID-19 and had to be away from my son for three months due to his condition. I lost my job at the end of March and someone donated a hot dog cart and started working to support my son and me, but a month ago my mom worsen from her hip and requires a hip prothesis and is five thousand dollars, so I had to stop working there and seek a better opportunity in a restaurant. During all this time I kept in contact with homes of hope never losing the faith that you could be able to help me and built even a small room for my son not to suffer anymore, because we are currently in a mobile home that was lent to us, but it leaks everywhere and since there are holes all around it makes it harder for my son to be ok due to his sickness.

Letter from the family:

May God bless you, Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, my name is Ericka and I would like to share my current living situation. My house is made from wood and it was built more than 20 years ago, when it rains my house leaks everywhere and it constantly humid. My roof is no longer good, because is worn out and the floor its now falling into pieces, the walls in my house were not made from new wood twenty years ago, so they are even older and in bad shape. We have not been able to fix it since my husbands works in a manufacturing company, but his income is quite low, and we have a son in school, groceries, and everyday living expenses, plus having to pay for my constant visits to the doctor and dialysis has taken a toll on our economy.

The humidity that we have in our house has affected our son with rhinitis and pharyngitis, I constantly have a cough being visually and physically impaired. I require to be in a place without humidity, free of mold and dust due to my health, since I must be doing my dialysis every 6 hours at home sometimes under the rain with a wet floor and that has become an issue that I have been hospitalized for weeks at the time.

I hope my living situation can improve and my son can have a better place to sleep and live without being worried to get wet.

Hope you can help us, and that God will touch your hearts to be a blessing to my family. May God bless you.
