Letter from the family:
My name is America, and I am writing to seek your assistance. I live with my husband Alejandro and our grandson Adán de Jesús, who is in the sixth grade. Adán has been with us for two years and is the reason I keep fighting every day.
We are requesting your help to obtain a house because my illness has prevented us from providing a proper home for our grandson. As he grows, he needs his own space, which we cannot afford due to our financial situation. Our current home is in poor condition, especially during the rainy season when everything gets wet despite our efforts to protect it with plastic. The sun and wind only make things worse, and we often have to use buckets to catch leaks. A beautiful tree helps prevent our old wooden house from collapsing, but water still seeps in everywhere.
During the Santa Ana winds, our house is at great risk, making it very unsafe for us. I suffer from chronic bronchial asthma, which severely affects my lungs, and I often cannot work. This, combined with the costs of medicine and the inability to repair our home, has made our financial situation dire.
My husband works, but his income is not enough to cover our needs. Therefore, we humbly request your help in providing us with a better home so we can live more comfortably and safely. Your assistance would mean the world to us, especially for Adán's well-being.
Thank you very much for considering our request.
Sincerely, America
