LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
My name is Verónica Yazmín Ruiz Gómez, and I am the mother of two children: a 13-year-old daughter and a 4-year-old son. I am reaching out to you in hopes of receiving support for building a home. I learned about your work through social media and saw how many families have benefited from your help. That encouraged me to try. I know it won’t be easy, but I have hope. It brings me joy to know that there are still people willing to help those in need. I am seeking this support because I am a single mother and rely financially on the assistance provided by my ex-husband, the father of my children, as well as my mother, who helps me with groceries. Finding a job has been difficult since I have not been able to find a schedule that fits my needs. My son is still very young, my daughter is in school, and I don’t have anyone nearby to care for them. I have been living on my plot of land for a year and five months. Before that, my sister and I rented a home, but we were asked to leave suddenly, so I had no choice but to move to my land. At first, we built a small room where we all slept together until my sister was able to construct her own space on her plot next to mine. Later, roads were built behind my land, causing dirt and rocks to fall onto my home, damaging one of the walls. Fortunately, the responsible offices took care of the damage. Currently, my children and I still live in this single wooden room, which has no flooring, and we use a latrine as our bathroom. My daughter attends the local middle school, which, while nearby, is still quite a walk. Every day, we walk there and back. This has made it even more difficult for me to secure a full-time job, as I worry about my daughter walking alone. I am reaching out to you in hopes of providing my children with a warmer and more secure home. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read my request. May God bless and protect you always.
