While there may be an age difference between Denise and Natalia H., these sisters are very close. Growing up, they learned to support and take care of each other. Denise is a first grader at Christel House Mexico (CHMX) and big sister Natalia is in seventh grade. Before coming to CHMX, the girls worked on street corners selling sweets to survive.
It wasn’t always like that. When they were very young, the girls lost their father in a tragic road accident. Living with their mother, the family struggled to get by. Enrolling at CHMX, Denise and Natalia are excelling in their classes. Their mother now has a job as a domestic worker. Inspired by her daughters, Mom is going to school on weekends to earn a high school diploma. For Denise and Natalia, Christel House Mexico offers security and a path to succeed.
