LETTER FROM THE FAMILY:
To Whom It May Concern, My name is Dalila Martínez Salazar, and my family consists of my husband, Miguel, and our two children: Jade, who is 10 years old, and Dereck, who is 5. Both my husband and I work in a factory; he works during the day, and I work the night shift so that we can take care of our children. The purpose of this letter is to request your support in building a home, as we currently do not have the financial means to construct on our land. At the moment, we are living in a borrowed house. Previously, we had to pay both rent and the land payments simultaneously, which was financially challenging. Fortunately, my brother-in-law, who lives in this house owned by my sister, has allowed us to stay temporarily while we try to build on our land. Currently, five people share this space. The house has two rooms and a kitchen. One room belongs to my brother-in-law, while my husband, children, and I share the other. The room is so small that it only fits one bed, which we all share. We also share the kitchen and household expenses. For this reason, we are requesting your support to build a home on our land, so our children can have a more comfortable space and no longer have to share a room with us. We would be deeply grateful if you could help us with a home of hope.
