LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
To Whom It May Concern, Greetings from our family. We are currently facing an unstable housing situation, as it has been very difficult for us to pay both rent and monthly installments for our land over the past three years. We pay 4,000 pesos in rent and 3,000 pesos for the land, in addition to other household expenses. My partner and I work at the flea market selling clothes and second-hand items, but sales have been low since the COVID pandemic. Our weekly income ranges from 3,500 to 3,700 pesos, which barely covers our basic needs. Furthermore, bad weather, especially rainy days, prevents us from working, affecting our financial stability. We have tried to build on our land, but due to a lack of resources, we have only managed to construct a bathroom and level the ground. We urgently need a permanent home to improve our quality of life. Our family consists of six members, and we live in a very small space, which has become increasingly difficult as our children grow. They are all in school at different levels: elementary, middle school, high school, and university, which represents a significant expense. Our youngest daughter, Victoria, has strabismus and requires ophthalmologic treatment every four months, adding to our financial burden. Having a home of our own would be a dream come true and a great blessing for our family. We sincerely appreciate your time and consideration.
