Letter from the family:
Hello! We are a family from the south of Mexico. We left home after losing everything in our town. We got scammed by a family member and lost our house, the one we had built with a lot of effort. We lost family members, our economic stability and many things. So with the little we had we decided to embark to start again in Tijuana. We sold the little we had and in our old car we drove from Chihuahua to Tijuana. We didn’t know anybody here but we started renting a little room. At the beginning we would sleep on the floor. It was a very hard few months, but we also got to know God in a deeper way. My husband and my daughter were working selling snacks in the streets while I was working in a pinata factory. We wanted to follow God and start attending a church, so we prayed and through a neighbor we started going to a church meeting on Tuesday and that’s how we met some of the YWAMers. They helped us and even gave my husband a stable job at the ywam base as a security guard. My husband has diabetes so it’s a great blessing that he gets to have a job with medical insurance. We currently live in a borrowed trailer in a land that’s not ours. We pay for the bills and we take care of the owners house and garden in return. Not paying rent allowed us to save for a down payment for our own piece of land and we’ve been giving monthly land payments. Still our living conditions are not the best. The trailer is very small and our daughter is a teenager. We would love for her to have her own space and we would like to have some privacy for ourselves too. That’s why we come to you to ask for your help. Our future is very uncertain cause we could get asked to leave at any moment but we know God has taken care of us until this day and he will continue. Our daughter wants to study to be a doctor and having a stable and comfortable home would be such a great way of supporting her so she can accomplish her dream. We are praying for this home and for you guys, thank you so much for everything you do to help families like ours!!!
