Mending
"Be yourself and believe and your dreams, my actions reflect my feelings, always give the best and the best will come."
I came from Mexico to Canada almost 8 years ago. My husband had come before us looking for a better opportunity. It was a very difficult time for us to live in Mexico alone. I was working too hard to support my children while they were in high school.
Eventually, we were all given sponsorship to move to Canada, but my children didn't approve of the papers and that made it difficult. My middle son decided to stay back in Mexico and that was very hard. I cried a lot. But our lawyer told us to come to Canada because there were many opportunities for immigrant workers.
When we first arrived in Canada, we lived in Vancouver before moving to Regina. My daughter and son were able to find good jobs there so just my husband and I came to live here.
I found a job through the Regina Women's Centre. I love children and get to look after them 3 days a week. The program has given me a lot. I used to sew clothes in Mexico, that was my little business to support my family and now I try to help people because I have money too. It's very nice to live in Regina, I've met a few women from Mexico and other countries and they have a lot of opportunities too so they can support their families.
We are very thankful for Regina and the opportunities it has given our family.
