Before the war we lived in Tzalval. We fled
to Tuchel after my first husband was killed. I was left a
widow, and since none of my family is still alive to help I
contacted this organization.
My older son can't go to school - I need his help, but at
least for now the two younger kids are going. I have no work
that pays other than washing laundry and cleaning
linens.

With the help of the
organization I was able to buy 2
Cuerdas of land and to be granted this house. My old
property in Tzalval is far away from here and my old house
is no longer existing.
We don't really have much income. As soon as we have some
money we go to the market to buy the basic foods. We grow
corn ourselves, just very little, and not enough for the
four of us.
Since we don't get any help from the state, it is very
important to support the different groups and causes of this
organization. That's why I participate in it. We need to
build community.
Without the organization, I wouldn't have this home. Our
family lost everything during the war: Our farm, the farm
hands, the house to live in, the crop and the land to grow
corn. At the time we were not able to organize ourselves -
but now we can.
