LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:

My name is Esmeralda Pantoja Magaña. I am 48 years old and the mother of two daughters, one is 11 and the other is 16. I have lived my entire life in Tijuana, always renting. Until recently, I was living in a house that my partner had lent me, where I stayed for 10 years. However, since the property was part of his job and was sold, we were asked to leave about a month or two ago, with a maximum deadline of two months to vacate. I have never owned a home, but I recently had the opportunity to purchase a plot of land through payments. My financial situation is difficult, and it has been a struggle to provide my daughters with a decent home. Their education has also been affected due to our economic hardships. I work selling goods on weekends, a job I have been doing for 10 years, but my income is not always enough. I also take care of my elderly mother, who has a disability that prevents her from walking. Our current home was a small one-room apartment with a kitchen and a bathroom, which made living conditions very difficult due to the lack of space. My daughters sometimes had to sleep on the floor. I would love to receive support to obtain a proper home, as this would be a great opportunity for my daughters and me. I truly appreciate your consideration, and may God bless you.
