LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
Hello dear team Homes of Hope, We are writing to share a little bit about our family. We are a family of six members: four children: Noah, who is 9 months old; Anthony, 7 years old; Emilet, 13 years old; and Aylin, 17 years old. My husband, Brayan, and I, Yesenia. Previously, we lived in Tijuana in an informal settlement, a high-risk area, where we suffered from flea bites. Because of this, we worked hard to buy a piece of land. Thanks to God, we were able to make the down payment for the land where we now live. As soon as we could, we moved to the land in a trailer. We were very excited about the change. My husband and my uncle built the pit for the bathroom. We began looking for schools, and now our children study here. It has been difficult to build a house because my husband is the only one working to support the family. I take care of our baby and drive the other children to school. Our expenses are higher due to transportation, as the schools are far away. My oldest daughter studies in Tijuana, and when she enters university, we will have to work even harder. In March 2024, when we took my daughter to high school, we didn’t know how flooded the streets would be due to the rain. On the way, we saw several cars stuck, some of which belonged to your organization. They handed us a brochure, and we decided to sign up. This year, you contacted us, and we were very happy because we finally had hope of getting a house for our family. Our trailer has been damaged by the wind; the roof leaks, and we use a tarp that sometimes we have to remove because the wind blows it away or tears it. Inside, some parts are made of wood, and others are made of gray plastic. Sometimes my husband and I feel like we can't go on, as despite our efforts, we haven’t been able to build a better home for our children. It has been difficult, but we remain positive and motivate each other. We would like to be one of the families blessed with a home. For us, as a humble family, we are grateful for everything God gives us, and we also thank you as an organization for the happiness you bring to every family. We hope to get to know each other better.
