Letter from the family:
Hello,
I hope I find you well the reason of my letter is to share why I would like you to help me
with a home, first of all I am a single mom I have 2 children an 11 year old Genesis Viane
and a 14 year old Alma Natalia, I married a person that is not my children’s father and at
the beginning everything was fine, my mom got sick and I used to go to her house to
help her, at that time I used to pay rent and He didn’t like when I go to my moms we
always argue, one day he started being rude and telling me bad words, I couldn’t do
anything I had to handle it because I didn’t have anywhere to go, one time he left us and
my oldest daughter was 7 years old when she started conveying anorexia she got
admitted in the hospital in Rosarito. Tow years went by and he came back saying he was
gonna change he wanted us to go to church because he wanted us to move forward and
he did change for a bit but not to long after the problems started again, one day he
came home drunk and beat me really hard that broke two front teeth and that’s went I
decided I didn’t want that life style I left him and got into depression right away, he
change the key locks and I had to go from place to place with my children 6 and 9 year
old at that time, it was hard some times we didn’t eat for two days, I was embarrassed to
go to my moms and let her know I failed in marriage, I asked for help to an aunt and she
allowed me to live at her house, I found a job and started paying off my debts and buying
what my children needed since we didn’t have anything.
There was a time when my oldest daughter Alma Natalia got sick and the doctors asked
me if I knew about her sickness, I said no, and they explained to me she had muscular
hypertrophy I didn’t know anything about this and when the doctors told me about it my
world fall apart because I didn’t know what to do, at that time I had plans, I wanted to fix
my front teeth, buy a stove, a fridge, a washer machine and a bed, until this day I haven’t
been able to do so, Its been my personal dream to fix my teeth I can’t smile because I
feel embarrassed, that and my Daugther’s sickness make feel so sad since there’s no cure
for what she has, she gets anxiety attacks and panic, she has episodes often, I had to
move to my moms Ive been with her for two years because I have many expenses, one of
my daughters is going to high school and the other one is going to junior high and the
expenses are higher I worked as an artisan I make piñatas and I get payed every 1 days.
I dream about having my house, a safe place where I can say is my own, a place where I
can hug my daughters and thank The Lord every day for His goodness, I want to
continue moving forward and one day see how all the effort and everything we have
been thorough was worth it, I know God’s times are perfect and everything is for a
reason and if I am writing this letter right now its not by chance or luck, miracles are real
and I have always asked God for help to give my daughters a home and continue moving
forward.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter, God bless you always.
Ana Isabel Mendoza Trejo.
