Letter from the family:
Hello!! My name is Nery, I’m a single mom of a wonderful 7 year old named Hernan. Our life hasn’t been easy since my pregnancy. My ex-husband abandoned us since he found out I was pregnant. It was a very difficult time for me. We had made plans to start a family together and when the moment came, he backed up and left us. My pregnancy was high risk and the doctors told me I was going to lose the baby and that I needed to abort him. Thank God I didn’t listen to them and I took a more natural approach to keep the baby. Some of my family then moved to Tijuana and I moved with them and started working as a cashier in a taco shop. It was very hard because I had to go through all of the pregnancy by myself. I was renting and working and saving for the baby’s birth and the father of my baby never took any responsibility at all. After he was born for his first year I worked very hard and I started selling food so I could be with him and provide for our needs at the same time. Then I found another job and I hired a nanny to babysit him during the night. I was working from 6:00pm to 5:00 am. When my son turned 5 years old I noticed he needed more attention and he was turning very rebellious because I was not spending enough time with him, so I decided to switch jobs again. I tried selling a couple things in the streets and now I’m currently selling corn. I wake up at 7:00am, I take my son to school and when I pick him up I take him with me to sell every afternoon from 3:00pm to around 9:40 pm. While we are in our little stand we do his homework and we spend time together. My son has changed a lot since we get to spend more time together. It’s very beautiful but hard also at times since I’m all he has. He still doesn’t know much about his dad but one day I will tell him all the truth when he’s grown up a bit more. Sometimes my situation is very tiring and frustrating but I keep trying my best. My child is my motivation and I thank God everyday for saving him, because he is my miracle child. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for supporting single moms like me. Sometimes we feel very lonely and at times it seems like all the doors shut in front of our faces, but I’ve seen God always has something better for us. For single moms and dads equally. Thank you again, and God bless you.
