Letter from the family:
Hello my name is Monserrat Chavez. My family and I arrived to Tijuana in 2015 in search of a better life and fleeing the insecurity from our city Apatzingan, Michoacan; where everyday there are attacks between the cartels and the police. So we decided to look for refuge and a new life in Tijuana. We had also heard there were a lot of job opportunities here do to the many factories so with the little money we had saved we came and we started renting a small room. It was hard for the first years since we didn’t have anyone in the city. Someone to run to if things got hard and we had all of the intentions to work in the factories; but it was very time consuming and our children could not be by themselves for that long. In the end only my husband continued working and I had to stay home taking care of the children since they were little. After a couple years I started selling in the flea market and buying and reselling clothes so then we decided to put more work into sales so we could spend more time with our children. We continue working very hard so we can be close to our family with all the intentions of growing and being an example for them. Thank you so much for considering our family for this wonderful gift, it would really change our lives to receive a Home of Hope.
