LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
Hello Homes of Hope, It is a pleasure to greet you. My name is Mayberto Correa Macedas, and I would like to share my current situation. At present, I live in my uncle's house. A few years ago, he brought me here to work with him. Now that I have a family with my wife and son, he has lent me a small room where we live. In this space, we have a bed, a stove, a table, and a small cabinet. My son, who is one year and nine months old, spends most of his time playing on the bed to stay safe while my wife cooks, avoiding the risk of burns or other kitchen accidents. My wife and I work together making and selling tamales. In the mornings, she prepares sauces and other ingredients, while I make the tamales. In the afternoons, I sell them. We started this business a year ago when I decided to leave my uncle's employment and become self-employed. The main reason I am requesting a home is to provide my son with a larger and safer space to play, as the place where we currently live is very small. Considering that there are only three of us and the land has an area of 8x20 meters, having this home would allow us to live more comfortably and set up a workspace, enabling me to spend more time with my family. Additionally, I am uncertain how much longer I will be able to stay in my uncle's house since I do not pay rent. While I am very grateful for his generosity, I understand that this situation cannot last indefinitely. Thank you very much for your attention and for any support you can provide. May God bless you.
