LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
Warm greetings,
My name is Mónica Rodríguez, and I would like to share a part of my story with you. I became a mother at the age of 15, first with a daughter, and years later, I had two sons. It was a difficult journey, as I faced many challenges with my children, including illnesses and surgeries. Thanks to God, they are all healthy today. At the age of 23, I became a single mother of three. It was a very challenging time, as I had to take on both parental roles, working hard to provide for their needs and give them a better future. I always wanted to offer them a stable home, but with my salary, I couldn't give them the quality of life they deserved. For a while, I rented homes so my children could have their own space. However, at one point, we were asked to leave the house we were renting, and my mother offered me a small wooden room in her backyard where we could share expenses. I continued to work hard, and three years ago, I met Francisco, my current partner. Together, we made the decision to buy a piece of land with the dream of building our own home and providing a better space for my children. However, due to financial constraints, we have been unable to start construction. While I do not pay a fixed rent at my mother’s house, we contribute by helping with utilities and home improvements. Despite the challenges, we have begun working on our land, leveling and fencing it, and it feels good to have something of our own. My children love running and playing there happily. With God’s blessing, I hope to have a house for my family. That is why I sought help, and through a church, I heard about your organization. With faith and hope, I decided to reach out to Homes of Hope for support. To me, having a home would mean stability for my children, freeing us from the uncertainty of constantly moving. I am deeply grateful to God for your work because I know that many families need support, and you provide them with the opportunity to be heard. I trust that God will continue to bless you so you can keep helping others. This is a part of my life. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I will be praying for you. May God always bless you.
