The high delinquency in Jalisco made it difficult for Carina’s family to make any advances. After making the difficult decision to leave everything behind in their hometown, Carina and her family put down new roots in Tijuana.

There wasn’t enough space for Ramon’s family of 7 to all sleep in the same place, an abandoned room made of clay, so he and his wife slept in a cave underneath it. They had no other option, until they received their new home from Amor.

The only thing that separated Susana’s children from human trafficking was a blanket. When she was about to give up, hope knocked at her door.

These were the words spoken to us as Amor founder Scott Congdon was introduced to Maria through this photo, years ago. This is her story, one that we will never forget.

For Jesus and Sara, a new home means that they can spend more money on their daughter Melanny’s education, and less on materials to fix up their old home. Thank you to United Church of Los Alamos for sponsoring their home.
