LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:

Hello to everyone. My name is Patricia Nava, and I am originally from Zacatecas, a state in central Mexico. Two years ago, I moved to Tijuana with my children, Luis (11 years old) and Manuel (13 years old). I decided to leave Zacatecas due to the violence I endured for many years from my children’s father. I tried to seek help, but the corruption and insecurity in my hometown made it impossible for me to stay. I reached out to my brother, who lives in Tijuana, and he welcomed me into his home for about a month. However, one night, he told me I had to leave. By that time, I had already secured a stable job, which I still have today. With the help of my coworkers, I found a rental home where I lived for three months. Later, I moved to another house within my financial means, but for a year and a half, I had to relocate frequently, as I was asked to leave every four months. Eventually, I learned about land available for purchase with flexible payment options. With great effort, I saved enough money for the down payment and began making monthly payments while still covering rent. However, in November, I was once again asked to vacate my rental home, and finding a new place became extremely difficult, as many landlords did not accept children and rent prices were too high. In December, I was offered a temporary home near my land, where I currently live. A few months ago, I learned about your organization and registered through your website. I would truly appreciate being considered, as I have been working hard to provide my children with a better quality of life. I left my hometown so they could grow up in a safe and stable environment, away from violence. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
