Letter from the family:
First of all, receive a warm greeting. My name is Elisa, and I am the mother of three children. My eldest, 22, no longer lives with us. My 14-year-old daughter is still in school, and we have a baby who is one year and four months old. I live with my partner Alfredo, the father of my children, who works to support our family, while I take care of the household.
We have had our land for over six years, a donation from the government, but unfortunately, we have been unable to build on it due to various reasons. Let me share a bit of our story and some of those reasons. When I met my partner, we were renting a small apartment and working at a restaurant—he as a taco chef and I at the cash register. He was invited to work in another city called Ensenada, but things did not go as we had hoped. We faced many problems there and decided to return to Rosarito, moving in with my mother-in-law due to our poor financial situation.
After some months, my partner managed to contact a neighbor of his mother, and we found a cheap place to rent. Unfortunately, the owner passed away, and we were left without a home once again. I was pregnant at the time, and it was a high-risk pregnancy. Sadly, I fell very ill and lost the baby. A couple of years later, I became pregnant again, and this pregnancy was also delicate. I had to attend private consultations because I was unemployed, and my partner did not have social security. The consultations were very expensive for us, but for the safety and stability of my baby, we did everything we could to pay for them.
It has been very difficult for us, but when we learned about Casa de Esperanza, we felt hopeful that we might receive some help. This is why we are reaching out to you for assistance.
Thank you very much for considering our request.
Sincerely, Elisa
