I am originally from Mexico City and have lived in San Francisco since the late 90s. Since living here I have worked mostly in restaurants. I try to work as many jobs and hours as possible and am currently working in carpentry. I work to provide for my six year old daughter. Free time is rare for me, but I spend most of my free time with my daughter. It is important for me to be present in this crucial time in her life.
Since being in the US I have been able to obtain my GED. My goal was to go on to college. However, my marriage ended in divorce and this caused me to become homeless. I have been homeless since the divorce and have been working any jobs I can get. However, not having residency or citizenship makes it challenging to find stable work. Recently, I have been able to secure stable work as a carpenter.
At the moment I am working to provide for my daughter. I am working toward maintaining the unity of my family so I can stay in the US and build a better life for us. I am very excited for us to move into housing.
I am happiest when I am spending time with my daughter. My wildest dream is for my family to be all together and for us to have stable housing and a stable life. I am working my hardest to make this dream a reality.
