Letter from the family:
Hello! My name is Cristihan Yoel Francisco Leon, it’s a pleasure to write to you and greet you. And I hope this letter finds you and you can learn what I’ve been living all this time. I am from the south of Mexico and because of the economy there me and my family left in search of a better life and a better future. When I turned 18 I left my home to start my own family. I met my wife and we started a family, five children later we are still together and growing in the good times and in the bad times. Everything was going well until the rent went very high at the place we were living in and we weren’t able to sustain ourselves anymore. My debt increased and one day when I came back from work my family was outside the house with all of our stuff. They kicked us out. I searched for a place to stay but without money and no one to help it was very hard. Eventually we landed in a piece of land and we built a little room there to stay until we could know what to do. Later on we bought the land we are currently living in and we moved there. We’re still making land payments for it. Sometimes it is very hard with the land payments, school expenses, food, sickness and everything in between but I know the Lord will continue helping me. I just want a place for my children where they can be warm and safe. I will continue working hard and I know God will not abandon us or forget about us. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter, I will keep on fighting because I know God is with me and he doesn’t let me fall down.
