Letter from the family:
My name is Karen Belén García Ortega, I am 24 years old, and my husband, Edgar Gabriel Ruelas Torres, is 27 and works as a mason's assistant. He is the main provider for our small family. We have two children, Eithan Mateo Ruelas García, aged 6, and Dafne Paulet Ruelas Garcia who is 2 years old. They are our motivation to strive for a better future. We are reaching out to Casitas de Esperanza in the hope of receiving assistance to build a home for our children.
Over the past two years, we have faced significant challenges, primarily due to our son Mateo falling seriously ill with appendicitis at the age of 4. This illness drained our finances as we struggled to cover medical expenses, and my husband had to leave his job to care for Mateo in the hospital, while I tended to Dafne, who was just a month old at the time. Despite having family, we lacked the support needed for someone to care for our children, so we took turns being with them. After Mateo's recovery, we faced further difficulties when heavy rains forced us to leave our rented accommodation, resulting in the loss of our possessions.
Currently, we reside in a room provided by my husband's aunt, who insists we save up to build our own home. However, our efforts were thwarted when my husband suffered an accident in April 2023, fracturing his ankle. The savings we had accumulated were depleted once again, covering household expenses and Mateo's schooling. We are reaching out to you for support in building a secure home for our family.
We are grateful for the lessons we have learned through adversity and remain hopeful for a brighter future. We appreciate any assistance you can provide in helping us establish a stable environment for our children. Thank you for considering our request.
Sincerely, Karen Belén García Ortega
