Letter from the family:
Dear brothers and sisters,
I come from Chiapas with my family. Currently, I have two daughters, one aged 4 and the other 1 year and 2 months. Both were premature, one born at 24 weeks and the other at 28 weeks. It has been a very sad situation for us as we lack insurance, our own home, or a stable income. We run a birria stall, which sometimes does well, but it's challenging for my husband and me to manage while taking care of our daughters. Despite difficulties, we never cease working, rain or shine, to make ends meet, even if it means going without food at times.
We desperately seek support for housing as we struggle to find affordable places that accept children. Currently, we rent a house where we also work to lower the rent, but it's not enough to save for our own home. We are not perfectionists, but hard workers. I sell used clothes to stretch our income, and our daughters are our everything. When they fall ill, it's tough as I care for them while my husband, much older than me, works tirelessly despite his age and sciatic nerve pain. We support each other through thick and thin.
We sincerely hope for your assistance as we are a humble family striving for a better life together, especially for our daughters whom we aim to guide onto the right path, instilling in them faith in God. I believe our encounter with you serves a higher purpose set by Him. God never forsakes us; He is always by our side, even in our toughest times.
With heartfelt gratitude, The Gómez Pérez Family
