Letter from the family:

Hello, I’m pleased to be able to write you this letter. We are the Leonides Cruz family. Our first child, Emilio, was born 8 months ago. Although we are so thankful for our son, taking care of a baby financially has been very difficult for us. A friend is letting us live with her currently in a very small house. It took a lot of work but we were able to put a down payment on a piece of land. The monthly payment for our land is very expensive and because of that, we are unable to build a home for ourselves. We would be so thankful to receive a home for our family, we really need help. We don’t want to have to keep asking for help from anyone, we just want to live comfortably with our baby. We look forward to hearing back from you, may God bless you all.

Letter from the family:

I’m reaching out to you and your team in hopes that you might be able to help my family with a dignified place to live. My family and I are from a small town in Oaxaca, there it is very hard to find work. A lot of people choose to leave where we are from in hoped of providing a better life for our children. My husband and I sell different souvenir items in Rosarito, like bracelets, and I also braid people’s hair on the beach. Some days we make a little money and other days we don’t even make a peso. It’s hard walking around to find work with my children, sometimes my baby cries because he just wants to be held. We have been married for almost 9 years now and over time, we have been able to save some money and also family has loaned us some money to buy a property. We’ve never had a place of our own, we usually live with others and have to move around a lot. We have two children, our daughter Mariana who is 4 and Mateo who is almost 2. With everything that we have to pay for our land and our loans, we do not have enough money to build a home all on our own. That’s why we are asking for your help. We currently live in a home made of wood. But it’s not put together well and lots of air and water come in. My kids constantly get sick. With all my heart, thank you for your time. I look forward to your response, Abigail.

Letter from the family:

Hello, we are the Reyes Santiago family. We came to Tijuana 10 years ago from a beautiful city in the state of Oaxaca. My family is made up of 6 people, 5 are my children; Katherine, Yonny, Angelly, Madeleine, and Mathew. My name is Natalia, I am the pillar of my family. We came to Northern Mexico searching for work because in Oaxaca, we could not find steady jobs. Sometimes I didn’t even have enough for milk and diapers for my kids. My kids are so amazing, they are smart and obedient. I just want them to have the best chance at succeeding in life. That’s why I’m here, and why I chose to purchase land- to give them what they deserve. I can picture them all attending university one day- they are all in the top of their class! I ask from the bottom of my heart for your help. We don’t have a nice place to live right now, it is very small and the floors are made of dirt. When it rains, our floors get flooded. Lots of spiders and scorpions enter our home, too. Because of my economic circumstances, I have not been able to provide a home for my children. It would be a huge blessing to receive help from your team. I care most about my children’s well-being and their education. Thank you for your time, blessings!

Letter from the family:

Hello, my name is Claudia and I’m 35 years old. There are 6 people in our family, my husband, Manuel, and our 4 children; Emmanuel, Kenay, David, and Keyla. I want to tell you a little of my family’s story. In 2018 we were a pretty happy family, living in my parent’s home. We didn’t have a lot but we were happy. The community that we were living in had a lot of construction going up around it. As more things began to be built, and land was moved around, houses around us began to fall. In total, 130 homes were destroyed, including my parent’s home that they had worked so hard to have. We needed to find somewhere else to live and stayed somewhere for a year before we were asked to leave because they were going to rent the home to one of their family members instead. We then moved somewhere else for 2 years, but then were asked to leave when the home was sold. We decided it would be best to buy land and start to build our own home but it didn’t come easy and was very expensive. We currently live on our property and my husband built us a small room that we all share together. We would really love a home, we want our kids to have their own space. We just don’t want to get rained on anymore, with that, we would all be happy. God bless you!

Letter from the family:

As parents, we believe our obligation is to provide a safe and warm home for our children, we want them to be happy. Right now we are living in a home that continues to fall apart, it’s also very small for our family of 6. Thankfully 3 years ago my husband’s uncle sold us a piece of land that he didn’t want anymore. Although we would love to build our own home, our finances do not allow us to do so. The cost of our land payment, rent, food, school for my children, and utilities causes us to have nothing left over to start building our home. We had been trying to save money but during the pandemic, we were forced to use everything when we both lost our jobs without notice or any compensation. After a few months, we both found work again and we are trying to save money and also continue to make our land payments. Right now I am excited thinking that we may be able to give our children a home soon, with your help. Thank you, bless you.

Hello Homes of Hope team! We came to find out about you through witnessing first hand homes being built one day. We noticed what was taking place and came to ask questions about what was happening. Sister Rocio was kind enough to explain to us how we too, could apply for a home! We can no longer afford rent anywhere because everything has become so expensive. We instead decided to move to our property 7 months ago and built a small room there. We have been trying to save money up so that we can have something nicer but its hard because there is never enough. Our desire is to give our children a dignified place to live, they deserve that. On our own, we cannot make this happen. We have had a hard time making ends meet and especially now with the cost of everything going up. Our oldest daughter is in school now and we can barely afford to send her there. We currently help my mother in law as well with her needs as she is diabetic and her medicine is very expensive. We really need your help, we would be forever grateful to receive it. Thank you for taking the time to read our letter, blessings.

Everything I earn goes to my family and our bills. I take what I need to pay for my transport to and from work, and then give the rest to my wife for our food and other necessities. My wife takes our son to a place called “City of Children” for his therapy which is expensive. We have additional costs like his schooling and our monthly land payment. We are currently living on our property. I appreciate your time and consideration, may God bless you.

My name is Jennifer. The reason I write this letter to you is to ask for your help so that I may receive a home for my family and myself. I’m 20 years old, my husband is 23, and our son 4 year old. Doing everything on our own has been very difficult especially with the new costs we have with a small baby. It hasn’t been possible to set aside enough money to build a home for ourselves. We want something better for our daughter, for her to grow up in a home of her own. I know everything that we are looking for is possible with God and whoever He might send to help. Right now we are living with my husband’s parents, they are lending us a small room in their home for the time being. We are so thankful for their help! We still long for something of our own; a space where we can put our daughter’s crib and have space for her to play. Every beginning is difficult and I’m very proud of what we have been able to do on our own so far. I ask for your help one more time, we have faith in God! Thank you!

Letter from the family:

Hello, I pray this letter finds you doing well. I want to tell you a little about my family and what we need your help. My husband Jorge and I started our family 24 years ago. We had our first child, Cristian, then Jorge and Francisco. We have had to move constantly and have lived in many high risk areas along the way. One time while my husband was at work and I was at home with my kids, it started to rain so hard that our home collapsed. Thankfully we made it out on time and none of us were injured. We think that Cristian, our oldest was drugged by his ex-girlfriend’s family 2 years ago, he has never been the same since. We also lost our 14 year old son, Jorge, to violence. Since these two incidents, I have been in a deep depression not knowing what to do with my life. Cristian is now in a rehab center and we have decided to live in a new and safer neighborhood to give our youngest son, Francisco a chance at a good life. We have a property that we put a down payment on and we are making our payments to it as well. We moved onto the property 3 months ago and are working very hard. We really would appreciate your help, we just want to give our family a better life. We have been through a lot but have hope for a miracle. Thank you!

CHILDREN

Name: Kenia - Age: 3 years old.

TIME IN TIJUANA: 2 years

Letter from the family:

We’re the Ramirez Gonzalez family, made up of my daughter Kenia Yaquelin, Primitivo and Eliza. We are a family with little resources who had to immigrate from San Quintin Baja California due to our daughter’s health concerns who was diagnosed with Acute Limphoblastic Leukemia that was detected a little over a year and a half ago. Since then we have fought by her side everyday hoping for a miracle from God, that He would have mercy on her life and allow us to keep her with us, as she is our only daughter and biggest treasure. Sadly this sickness is very deceiving and can return at any moment even stronger and destroy her organs. For this reason we decided to stay here in Tijuana. San Quintin is considered an area far from the city and sadly the specialists in Hematology and Oncology that our young daughter needs are nonexistent there.

We have had many needs between transportation, food, health and shelter more than anything, as the income my husband receives in the factory at times does not cover all of our needs. We see ourselves in need of asking for a house where we can offer a better quality of life to our family as the house we currently live in leaks when it rains which makes us unable to relax while we sleep. The wind and the rain also bring lots of dirt through the cracks in our house that dirty our blankets. We have only a dirt floor and insects have entered our house, putting our family’s health at risk, especially Kenia because of her low immune system, as a bite from any insect or animal really concerns us.

As I promise to tell the truth, I want to say that my father, when I was young, donated a piece of land to me and I am unsure if it will show up on the “no property card” that I am going to have processed. In telling you the truth, my parents live on that property, in a wooden house. My father is a disabled man and cannot work, and my mother, with the little economical support she receives from the government are able to survive, as my siblings really do not support them financially. I have shared with my dad that due to my daughter’s condition and the need she has for weekly chemotherapy as well as on occasions needing to go to the emergency room due to complications from chemotherapy, that we will not be returning to live with them, but we will stay here in Tijuana. As Kenia’s treatment is long term, we will not be leaving Tijuana, and my parents will continue living in that home for good.

I wanted to share a little about the reason behind my father putting this property in my name. My parents have the idea and the custom of giving the home to me as the youngest, as I would typically be responsible to care for them when they’re older. Sadly because of our situation my husband and I made the decision to leave this home in San Quintin to them as they are used to living in San Quintin around the majority of our family members and did not want to move with us to live in Tijuana. I love my parents, but sadly I’m unable to do anything for them because of the situation we are living in currently.

I thank you all deeply for all the support you are providing for families such as ours and I’m sure God will multiply it abundantly. We will be praying to our Lord Jesus that we could become candidates for this support.

Good day, my name is Reyna Esteve. I am writing this letter to share a little about my family and our home situation. I arrived to the city of Rosarito 13 years ago. I have four siblings and it was my mother, who was a single mother, who brought us here with hopes of having a better life. As the years have passed, I’ve been able to form my own family. I have two sons, one who was born to me, and the other from my husband. But I always say I have two sons because I love him as my own son. His biological mother gave him to my husband and I am the one who takes him to school, and takes care of him in everything he needs while my husband works and looks to earn the money we need for our home. We were able to obtain a property through small payments now three years ago, and have been living on the property for the past year and 7 months. We were able to build a small 5x5 room with a wooden roof and covered with a tarp so that water doesn’t come in. The walls are only covered with triplay and fabric and are not plastered which is why we need a more secure home, as air comes in from all sides. I’d like my children to have a place to rest and be able to do their homework without being cold, as they are only 5 and 6 years old. I’d like to offer them a dignified home but our economical situation is very difficult. Because of this I’m sending this letter, to see if I qualify for a home for my family. I end this letter sending you a very cordial goodbye. God Bless you.

Letter from the family:

Through this letter I want to share our current situation. We are a family of seven people, two adults and five children. We live in a humble room made of scraps of wood. When it rains the water comes through the roof and soaks our beds. The house is falling apart since we made it with scavenged pieces of lumber.

We have really gone through a difficult situation since I do not have a spouse to contribute to my family’s needs. We do not have the necessary resources to build a decent home. My salary barely covers half of our day to day needs. Every night before going to sleep we pray that God will help us to find a decent home to live in. It would be a blessing for us to be chosen so that God pours out his blessings on our family through “güeros” like you.

To share a bit more of our story we are originally from Michoacán. We had to leave everything in order to have peace and quiet. Years ago, I was kidnapped while living in Michoacán. We fled to Rosarito and it has been very painful for me to start my life over again. It really has been a very difficult situation. Even trying to make new friends is fearful for me. Each day I pray that God will give me a day without any violence, and without fear.

As a humble family, our only desire is to have a small house for us. We have each other, which is our home, but all I ask is for a house where we could live. May God generously bless you.

Hello, we are the Peralta Guzman family. It’s my husband and I and our 4 children. We come to you asking for help with our whole heart! Over 5 years ago, we had to return a piece of land that we were almost done paying for. There was a terrible accident involving my daughter where she was burned on 80% of her body. The hospital charged us so much money that we had to sell our land to pay for treatment. Thankfully we received help through the Mickey Mouse foundation in the United States and lived there a whole year while my daughter received treatment and had many surgeries. My husband had to stay behind and take care of our other 3 children, financially this was a big hit to us. We finally have enough to put as a downpayment on a new piece of land. We are hoping to build a home there and we really need help. Thank you from all of us. Blessings!
