LETTER FROM THE FAMILY: Hello Homes of Hope, my name is Eugenia, I am 42 years old and I am from the south of Mexico. To whom it may concern, I send my warmest greetings and I hope you are doing well. To start, I want to thank you for taking us into account in this process. I express that my story is long, and I will share it below. We are from the state of Guerrero, and like many families that come to the border to have a better chance in life, we are another family that came for the same reason. Because we are a family with limited resources and the economy in this state is low. In the neighborhood where we lived, there was so much insecurity that we could no longer go out on the streets, and that was another reason why we came to Tijuana to start a new life. We came here four years ago, and our intention at first was to save enough money to go back to the South. Because the rent here is very expensive. And no matter how much my husband worked, we would not be able to cover many of the expenses. At that time, I could not contribute much because I was taking care of my youngest son. Unfortunately, due to lack of finances, only one of my two children continued his studies. The truth is that we went through many economic hardships, including my mother-in-law's illness, so we ended up with unexpected expenses. We ended up in such great need that we decided to look for land here so that we could start investing in something of our own and reduce our expenses. However, the unexpected expenses did not stop coming. Because we needed financial support, my oldest son left high school and started working to help the family. We are now living in a temporary wooden house that we built on our land. These are some of the many reasons why we are asking for your support, as we cannot realize the dream of having a house on our own. We would be very grateful for your support, I would like to add that we are taking care of a nephew since my sister separated from my brother-in-law some time ago and my brother-in-law brought the child here to Tijuana and well, since my sister stayed in the south she left him with us and that is why we are taking care of him, my brother-in-law sometimes contributes something to the child and sometimes not so we have to take care of the expenses of the child, he continues to attend school so there are times when it is very difficult for us to be able to cover all the necessary expenses of the house. Without further ado, I am grateful for the blessing of considering us and giving us the hope of having a better place to live, thank you for taking the time to read our story and the reason for our request. God bless you always.
