1. LUZ ELSA LOPEZ (FAV Gabriel Rodriguez)

Hello, my name is Luz, I am from the Gabriel Rodríguez FAV. In August 2021, a friend who already has her home invited me. Last year we started the construction of my home and due to some problems we could not continue.

Thanks to Esperanza, today I have land in Lomas del Valle and they built my house there. I am a single mother, it is only my daughter and I, though I have my parents and brother. When I entered the program I was pregnant and living with my daughter's father. If it weren't for the foundation and the help of my community, I wouldn't have my home today.

The truth is I never thought this type of aid existed, and today I realize that if I had not joined the FAV, I would not have a home. I will never regret having made the decision to start this path that, although it's not easy, it's best for my future and that of my daughter. Today at the construction site, it was just me and my daughter, but thanks to the technicians for all their support, for being patient with me, because there were many things that I did not understand and they explained everything to me and understood me.

I had a very beautiful experience building my house because I learned and made my home from scratch. I faced challenges that sometimes made me want to run away, but with the help of my family and some colleagues from the FAV, I overcame them.
Thanks to my advisor Gricelia for always being there and to my community for all their support. Today I see my finished home and I feel a lot of HAPPINESS because it is my home for me and my daughter.
