Letter from the family:
We are the Ramírez González family. I'm Ana, 23 years old, and my husband Jose, also 23 years old, along with our daughter Alexa, 4 years old. We arrived in Tijuana just 4 years ago, originally from Guanajuato. We had to leave our lives there abruptly due to threats from a cartel. With only what we could carry, including our newborn daughter, Alexa, who was just 1 month old at the time, we fled. My husband's father helped us by paying for bus tickets to Tijuana after we were threatened, robbed, and my husband was beaten. Upon arrival, we stayed briefly with a cousin of my husband's before renting a small house. We struggled to afford food and diapers. Eventually, we sought a piece of land to own, as rent was too high. We found one and moved, building a small room with scavenged materials. We slept on the floor, fearing for our safety. Now, after two years, we've made some progress, even having a place to cook. However, life remains difficult, and we seek your help to provide a safer place for our daughter to sleep. Your assistance would mean a lot to us as we strive to give her a better life. Thank you very much.
