FAMILY STORY
Things were hard for Angelica in her home state of Guerrero, located in central Mexico. Life was increasingly unsafe both in the city due to violence and at home due to her husband’s alcoholism. Shortly after separating from her husband a friend encouraged her to come to Ensenada and bought her plane ticket.
On January 28, 2018 Angelica arrived in Ensenada with her daughter, Aline, and they moved in with a friend and were able to purchase a property on credit thanks to Aline’s father who helped financially. However, their economic situation remained difficult and Aline’s father soon lost his job due to struggles with alcohol. Therefore Angelica got a job herself.
Maximino was born in Guerrero and at the time when his wife and daughter came to Ensenada he was living in a rehab center in their home state. He had abandoned his family for two years prior to the center but after 8 months in the center he repented for abandoning them and was able to come to Ensenada with one goal in mind, restoring his family. They now all live together in Ensenada and they even built another small shelter on their property for Angelica’s sister who decided to leave Guerrero as well due to the insecurity there. Paying rent is expensive and so they gave her the opportunity to be with family and live on their property.
Angelica and Maximo work at a factory together from Monday to Thursday while a friend watches Aline.
Before Maximino joined his family, Angelica found out about the opportunity to buy a property from a friend at work and in that way she was able to purchase a property on credit. She went back to Guerrero and sold her personal belongings to be able to afford the first down payment for the property. They are in need of a better house because theirs is small and in bad conditions.
