LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
Dear Homes of Hope Team, May God bless you. My name is Iván Emanuel Virgen Sosa. My family consists of my wife, Evelyn, our children—David (7 years old), Yacob (5 years old), and Iván (9 months old)—as well as my grandparents, Francisco and Amelia, who are elderly. I am writing to request your support in obtaining a home. Currently, we live in my parents' house, where my siblings also reside. The space is very limited, and my wife, children, and I share a small 2x2 meter room. We all sleep together in a single bed, which is uncomfortable, especially for the children. Additionally, my grandparents live separately from us. They are staying on a piece of land temporarily loaned to them by a church member, who allowed them to live in a small trailer while they oversee the construction of his house. My grandmother, Amelia, suffers from Parkinson’s disease and requires constant care, as she has limited mobility and frequently falls. The trailer they live in is extremely small; there is no space for a bed, so my grandmother sleeps sitting in a plastic chair. My grandfather has to cook outside because there is no room for a stove, and using one inside would be a fire hazard since the trailer is covered with tarp. Because of this situation, I decided to acquire a piece of land with the goal of building a home where my grandparents can live with us and receive the care they need. My wife and I are committed to supporting them, as my aunts do not take responsibility for them due to family conflicts. Their only financial support comes from a government assistance program. Our land is in a well-located area, just five minutes from public transportation and shopping centers. Additionally, our children, David and Yacob, attend a school only ten minutes away. We have been praying for a year for God to make this dream a reality. We believe He is guiding us, and we trust that your organization can help us achieve it. Thank you for your time and consideration. May God bless you and continue to bless your work.
