At 32, David is married to Candelaria, who is 35. They have five children: Rosa, 14; Irma, 12; Dani, 10; Samanta, 7; and Cristobal, 3. They live in extreme poverty in the village of El Arado, Sumpango. David works as a day laborer in farming, and Candelaria also works as a day laborer, picking green beans, tomatoes, and peas. Rosa works at a vegetable packing factory.

Their living conditions are challenging; they all sleep in a single room made of tin sheets with a dirt floor. They have a small kitchen, also made of old tin sheets with a concrete floor, donated by a local church. The wood supporting the kitchen is rotten, posing a risk to the family.

Good news has come their way: their request for a new room has been approved by the Social Work team, thanks to a donation from The 141 Project. Candelaria said, “We asked for a room because my family does not have enough money to build a room of cinderblock. If we receive the room, it will be the bedroom for my whole family.” The new room will significantly improve their living conditions.
