Letter from the family:
Hi, my name is Fatima Guadalupe Rodriguez Leon, I’m originally from the state of Oaxaca in Mexico. The motive of my letter is to share my current situation with you and to ask for your support through a Home of Hope. With a lot of faith and emotion, I ask for this home. I’m a single mom and do not have my own home. I currently live with my dad, he’s letting my daughter and I stay in a small space of his house. I would really like for us to have a place of our own. We don’t have enough space for our things, or to be able to have a stove to cook on. My dad lets me borrow his things and before, I did have a refrigerator but it broke. It was going to be too expensive to fix my refrigerator so we have been without one since December. I don’t have a lot of money to replace broken down items. I’m asking out of complete faith, to be considered for a Home of Hope. I just don’t have the resources to be able to get my own home. Thanks to God, I was able to purchase a plot of land. This happened because many of my family members decided to loan me money and now very slowly, I am paying them back. I don’t have a steady job, I braid people’s hair on the beach for income, I also sell bracelets, and beach toys. Some days I make 300 pesos and some days I make nothing. From whatever I make, I set aside money to pay back my family the money I owe them for my land. I can’t get ahead because all my money goes to food and to pay back my loan. Life has been hard as a single mom, I don’t have much help with my daughter. Sometimes it’s hard to work because I don’t have anyone to take care of my daughter, or I need to take her to school, or do homework with her. Since Covid, it has been hard to find steady work. I would like for you to be able to come and see where I am currently living. It’s very small and cold air comes in through the walls. Our things are always full of dirt and dust. We really need your help, thank you so much! -Fatima
