Pablo, 30, completed education up to the 6th grade and lives with Ana, 35, who studied up to the 2nd grade. They have two children together, and Ana also has a daughter, Marisol, who is 17 and stopped her education at the 2nd grade. Marisol now works as a day laborer, picking green beans and tomatoes, earning $27 per week. Their other children are Santos Miguel, 9, who is in the 2nd grade, and Daysi, who is 1 year and 8 months old. The family resides in Santa Marta, Sumpango.

For income, Pablo works as a day laborer in farming, earning $47 per week. Ana is primarily a stay-at-home mom but also works as a day laborer, picking green beans and tomatoes. They live in extreme poverty in a single room made of wood boards with a tin roof and a dirt floor. They’ve divided this space into two small rooms: one for Marisol and Santos Miguel, and another for the parents. Their kitchen is similarly constructed, made from tin sheets and pieces of wood, with a dirt floor.

This family is set to be the first in their village to receive a new room from Breaking Cycles, as their current living conditions are compromised by leaks in the roof and walls. Pablo expressed, “I do not earn enough money to build a better house for my family. I also want my children to sleep in a better place.” Thanks to a donation from The 141 Project, this new room will serve as the children’s bedroom, significantly improving the family’s living conditions.
