González Maldonado Family

Meet Esmeralda, Evelín, and Hermelinda. The lives of these women changed drastically last year when Hermelinda’s husband and the girl’s father fell from a ladder and passed away. He was a bricklayer and started building a house but did not finish it. They were living in a little room with a dirt floor on a property that they have been living on for 27 years. Esmeralda is in her sixth semester in the medical school of the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California. Evelin is currently in beauty school. This house will be a safe haven for the girls to study and feel the love and support that we have put into making it a home.

This home was completed on October 4, 2018 by an ALL WOMEN team!

Arteaga Torres Family

The Arteaga Torres family was living on their land in a small room built out of old garage doors. Humberto only earns $60 a week washing cars and was not able to build his family a better home. He was very emotional during the key ceremony because he was finally able to provide for his family. All of the kids attend school and the boys love playing soccer. Yesenia is a very loving mom and makes sure that her kids are well behaved!

This home was completed on October 22, 2018.

Ramírez Family

Luis and Rosa are pastors of a church and are working in their own little family business making approximately $150 a week. Luis was working in a factory that closed last April. He received a compensation that he used to open a little grocery store in partnership with his brothers. They were planning to build a little room to live close to the church and business and even changed their daughters Hanna and Ailyn to closer schools, but they did not make enough money to build. With their new home they are closer to their most important values. They have a huge heart for their community and are always looking for ways to help.
