LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
Dear Team, We hope this letter finds you well. We are the Varela Colín family: my wife, Jenny Colín, our daughters Daniela (15 years old), Jeslyn (13 years old), and Jennifer Andrea (6 years old), and myself, Daniel Varela. We are a hardworking family; I work as a carpenter’s assistant, and my wife is employed at a convenience store. Our daughters are currently in high school, middle school, and elementary school. The past two years have been incredibly difficult for us. Our youngest daughter, Jennifer Andrea, was diagnosed with Wilms' tumor, an aggressive cancer that led to the loss of one of her kidneys. Her treatment involved chemotherapy and radiation, and there were times when we feared we might lose her. She spent months hospitalized due to two relapses, as the cancer later spread to her lung. Thankfully, God granted us the miracle of her recovery, and today, a year later, she is cancer-free. We continue to monitor her health closely and pray that she remains in good health. After she stabilized, we made a great effort to put a down payment on a piece of land, hoping to build a home for our family. However, our financial situation makes it difficult to move forward, as we must pay both rent and the land installment each month. When we learned about "Homes of Hope" and the incredible work you do, we felt compelled to share our story, hoping to be considered. We sincerely appreciate your time and attention, as well as the support you provide to so many families. May God bless you for your generosity.
