Letter from the family:

May you have a blessed day! We humbly ask for your generous help in building a home for our family. We haven’t had the finances to be able to build something suitable for ourselves. The worst part about our current home is that our roof is destroyed. No matter what the weather is outside, we feel it inside too. It’s just tarps holding it together for now. My husband is the only one with stable work. He works in a factory and I am home with our kids. I sell what ever I can to help with our finances; old clothes, candy, chips..anything. I feel like we are just barely surviving day by day. I feel like my kids are always sick, and I can’t do anything to prevent it. Please, will you come see our situation and know that we are in deep need? We send you many blessings, thank you!

My family’s story is a little sad, but with God’s help and the help of some brothers and sisters we have been able to overcome. We left our hometown to protect our children, but it was not easy at all. When we arrived here to Tijuana, we didn’t know anyone, but God is a great god and put wonderful people in our path. Some helped us with food, some with clothing and blankets, and thanks be to God, everything slowly began to change for us. My husband began to work, and my children began going to school. Little by little everything began to change a little and we are asking God for a small and secure home for my family.

We’ve had our property for over a year now and have never missed a payment. My husband is the only one that works, I take care of our children and take them to school. We haven’t been able to start building our home because everything is so expensive. Right now we live in a small room where we barely fit when we’re all together. When my kids ask if we’ll ever have a home, my heart breaks. They deserve a place they can rest and play! For God, nothing is impossible and I put all my faith in Him. God bless Homes of Hope and all the work you do. Thank you!

There is so much to say, but not enough time. Thank you for your time, blessings.

That’s why we decided to ask for your help. I feel privileged that you’re even reading this letter. We send our hugs your way, we hope to hear back from you soon. Blessings.

TIME IN TIJUANA:

Letter from the family:

It was a complicated decision we took to decide to come live in Tijuana, because we didn’t know anyone. We had to make this decision for the well being of our kids and ourselves. We want to give them a better future. We suffered many economic hardships and the lack of heat from a home. We didn’t want to repeat these same patterns for our kids. We want to be able to give our kids what we didn’t have. So my husband had to take the first step and he came here alone with a little bit of money to be able to eat for two days. Thank God he found some people who gave him a place to sleep for a couple of days. Thank God he found a job but like many people right now struggling to find a place to rent. (Also it is very expensive). He eventually found a place to rent and he started saving to be able to bring us to Tijuana. After a few months we were asked to give the house back. We had to sell many things and even borrowed some money to have the down payment for the land where we are actually living. Because I am a diabetic mom I have not been able to find a job in any factory. It is very frustrating to not be able to help my husband economically and to complement this we don’t have the financial resources to send our youngest son to preschool. We also don’t have anyone that we trust enough to be able to leave him with them. With much sacrifice and work my husband was able to make a small room made of wood. Because we didn’t have money to pay someone to make it he made it with the help of my 14 year old son. It is good to keep us out of the heat of the sun during the day and to sleep in but when it rains it leaks inside. In this little room we cook, eat, sleep and in one of the corners we shower. We always have the faith and hope that this can change. Thank You for your great work, May God bless each one of you.

Hello, my name is Blanca. I’m writing to you to ask for help for my family. We moved to Tijuana 4 years ago from Southern Mexico, we were looking for a better life. We got a piece of land and have been working hard to make the payments. My husband is a mason and has been able to find work here, thankfully. We have been having a hard time making ends meet with so many bills, especially our land payment. Our landlord just let us know that they are also upping our rent. My husband is working hard, but it is not easy. I do what I can to contribute to my household so that my husband doesn’t feel so much pressure. My kids always ask me why their daddy can’t take them to the park, I have to tell them that he needs to work a lot to support us. I wish I could help him more but I don’t have anyone to watch my kids so that I can work. I have faith that you’ll be able to help us. Thank you!

Hello, I’m reaching out to you for help because my family has run out of space to live in our current location. We have a 4 year old daughter and also in July, our twins daughters were born. We live in a trailer but are only able to use half of it. We aren’t even able to open the windows, it feels very depressing inside. The roof is rotted so lots of heat and moisture constantly come in. If it rains, everything becomes soaked. My daughters are getting sick a lot. There’s no floor in some parts and lots of insects can get in. I feel worried for my family. We would love to be able to give space to my daughter for her homework and to play. We have dreams of having a dining room table we can sit around and talk to each other. My daughters deserve a safe and beautiful home. Thank you!
