Letter from the family:
We are the Castillo Garcia family and we would like to thank you for your time and the opportunity to share with you a little bit about our lives and how we came here to apply for this support to have a better place to live.
We arrived from the state of Sonora 4 years ago with the hope of having a better life here. My parents sold their home to be able to buy something here where we could come and live. We arrived with them and at that time we were 6 people living together. When I became pregnant, our parents helped us to get a down payment for our land close to their home. Once my baby was born, now we are 7 people living together in 2 rooms, a bathroom and a common room that serves as the living room, kitchen and dining room. We like being together but it is very small.
Every month, with a lot of effort we are able to get the money for our land payment, even though having a baby has a lot of added expenses. This is why it has been impossible for us to build a home for ourselves.
We are asking for your help with a home because my baby is now 2 and my son is 12, and each one of them takes up space and we feel like we are invading my parent’s house now, even though I know they are happy to have their grandchildren with them. Each person needs their privacy and their own space, including my 18 year old sister that lives with them too. I would like to have a space where my baby can walk freely and without danger, where my adolescent son can feel comfortable in his own space, and where our stuff is not bothering anyone.
We know there are many people in need, but we decided to take a risk and try and ask for your help. Whatever you decide, we are thankful for the opportunity. May God bless you.
