Letter from the family:

Hello, I want to tell you about my family’s story and why we are asking for help. We needed to leave our home state about two years ago as it became unsafe and we wanted something better for our family. With my brother in law’s help, we made the move to Tijuana. We met a kind family when we first moved here who helped us find work and also a place to live while we established ourselves. After some time, we needed to move and started paying rent. My husband and I both work but it’s not enough to make our land payment, rent, food, and the cost of keeping our kids in school. Someone told us about Homes of Hope and it was exciting to think that maybe we would qualify and eventually have a home of our own. It’s very hard to ask for help but I know it’s help we genuinely need. We will continue to work hard no matter what, and show our kids what honest work looks like. We aren’t churchgoer’s but do believe God is good and real. I know we aren’t perfect, but we are still God’s children. I pray you’re able to help us. Thank you!

Letter from the family:

Hello, we are a family made up of 4 members: mom, dad, and two children. Our current financial situation does not allow us to meet basic needs that are family has like food, diapers, and transportation. Right now we only have the income of my husband. I was working before but our car broke down and has left me unable to participate in earning an income for our family. We did have savings but like so many other families, the pandemic hit us very hard and we are having a hard time getting back on our feet. We lost a child during a pregnancy and medical bills racked up after that. We became pregnant again shortly after and praise God, our baby is now with us and healthy. Our children are our entire life! We are so proud of our oldest child, he is smart and capable. We would love to give him his own space inside our home as he is now a teenager. Both myself and our son have asthma and I secure home unaffected by the weather outside would be a huge blessing. We know there are so many families in need. We pray that you are able to help ours. We pray God grows the supply of workers you have in order to bless more families with homes. Thank you!

Letter from the family:

Hello, my name is Trinidad. I became a single mom to 4 children a couple years back. However, I have been living on my own for 7 years now. I also have my brother living with me and he is handicapped. 7 years ago, my husband fell into drugs and left our family. I have worked my hardest to keep my family going and have worked so hard. About 3 years ago, our house flooded due to a drainage problem where we were living and we lost everything. Around the same time, my son had a life saving kidney surgery that has left him needing further studies and tests for the foreseen future. It’s been a lot for me to deal with on my own. I’ve been working at factories and cleaning houses to make ends meet. Last year, I put myself through a nursing course and graduated! I now am able to give care to the elderly and make an income from that, too. I’m trying to build a home for my family but everything is so expensive! I was working too much last year and living completely stressed all the time- I ended up needing a surgery and now am trying to take better care of myself because my kids only have me. They never ask me for anything because they are very aware of our situation. I truly wish to be able to give them a safe home where we can all sit around the table and enjoy meals together. Please consider helping my family, thank you!

Guadalupe 64 Years Old. (Grandmother)

Letter from the family:

Hello, my name is Rocio and I’m 35 years old. My family is originally from Sonora but we’ve been in Tijuana a long time now. About 6 years ago we began paying for a piece of land with the hope of one day building a home there. But because of many life circumstances and a lack of economic resources, we have not been able to advance with that dream. I’d like to tell you a little about my family. I’m a single mom to two beautiful children, Axel (10) and Yasmín (12). My kids are my everything! I separated from my kid’s father because he is a very violent person. It was better for us to start all over again but in peace, then to live through the same cycle of abuse I lived through as a child. My mom has helped me and we are pushing forward together, putting the kids first. In our home lives my two children, my mom, myself, and also my niece and nephew. My mom is handicapped and uses a walker and wheelchair to get around. The mother of my niece and nephew was also living with us but over two years ago she left and we have never heard from her since. We suspect she was killed by her ex-husband. Now I consider her two children my own and help care for them because I know she would do that for me. I ask for your help because I would love to have a safe home for my family. Thank you for reading our letter.

Letter from the family:

Hello, my name is Patssy and I’m a single mom to 4 kids. We’ve been in Tijuana for 5 years now and came searching for a better life. We are originally from Southern Mexico but needed to leave because we weren’t safe. My greatest dream has always been to provide my kids with a safe home. Once we arrived in Tijuana, everything started to change and my ex-husband began abusing me and our children and also became involved in drugs. We had been living with my sister because we had nowhere else to go but she left and we became homeless. A friend loaned me a bit of money to put a down payment on a piece of land- we then built a very small one there. The 5 of us have been living there and it’s very small. If you helped our family, we would be so grateful. When it rains, we all get wet- if you built us a home, we would feel so safe. I’m leaving everything in God’s hands and trusting Him. Thank you.

Hi, we are the Castro Lopez family. We are currently living in house that a gracious neighbor has been letting us stay in for 6 months. The pandemic greatly affected our way of life and our means to make a living- we became unable to keep up paying our rent. Although we are thankful for the home they are letting us stay in- it has many issues such as mold and my kids are constantly sick from it. With the little money that we do have, we gave it as a down payment on a piece of land. We are a young family fighting to give our children the best life possible. Receiving a home would be our biggest dream come true. We are praying for God to make a way! Thank you!

Hello, my name is Juan and my wife’s name is Claudia. We have three children; Jose, Carlos, and Yorley. We have been living in our land now for 7 months. We are trying our hardest to make it better for everyone! We didn’t have enough money to rent elsewhere and also pay for our land which is why we made the move. Our kids are in school again which is an additional cost that makes our budget so tight. Without my family, I wouldn’t care so much about where I live but they deserve everything. The small structure we built on our land to get us by, is slowly breaking down in the elements. We are a humble and happy family just needing some extra help. Please consider us for a home. Blessings!
