Magui´s Letter:
Fifteen years ago, when I first arrived in Puerta Abierta I finally understood the meaning of the word family. The sense of belonging, of being cared for, patience and loyalty. I learnt that I can enjoy and learn without having to fear for my safety or my future. I am part of something, I came home every day to a warm bed, food on the table and the assurance that no one could hurt me. The girls and I are a family.
A couple of weeks ago we moved into our new home. For the past 2 years we have seen this house, this new home being built. We watched a dream literally coming true, the continuous effort from everyone who believes in our Project come to life. Every wall symbolizes each one of us, our strength to hold this family together. At the inauguration party, we finally made it our own, filled with laughter, smiles and love, the good and the bad, early morning breakfasts, late dinners, talks with friends and peace.
I am thankful for people like you who continue to believe in our dreams and making them possible for us to live. I am currently about to finish university; I work part time and I have friends all over. Having a family gave me the strength and confidence to believe in myself and despite my childhood I stand stronger than ever. I am certain my “sisters” share the same feelings as me. Thank you for believing, thank you for supporting and thank you for the opportunities you continue to give us.
Kind regards
Magui
