Children: Marilena (20), Albert (13), Maribel (13), and Joshua (11)
Erica is a devoted single mother determined to provide a better future for her four children: Marilena, Albert, Maribel, and Joshua. As a sole provider for her family and an employee of the State of California. Erica’s resilience shines through in her remarkable ability to juggle work, parenthood, and community involvement. Sharing a small, two-bedroom home with another family, their limited living space underscores the urgency of finding a better and more permanent solution for Erica and her family.
For Erica, purchasing her first home through Habitat for Humanity means more than just a place to live; it’s a foundation for independence and a brighter future for both her and each of her kids. It will allow her children to have their own space to study and play while providing Erica with the peace of mind to focus on their well-being. This opportunity represents a life-changing step forward, filled with hope, stability, and the chance to build lasting memories.
