Meet the Solorio-Gomez and Rios-Madriz Family, Pedro, Angelica and their three children Caleb, Azarias and Lauren. We met with this incredible family just last week to kick off the first stage of their home, the foundation. While the concrete truck was arriving Pedro and Angelica were all smiles, talking between themselves about the plot of land that will transform into their home over the next 10 months. Pedro is a local roofer commonly working 50-60 hour weeks so that his wife Angelica a residential house keeper can flex her schedule to be there for Lauren (7) and Azarias (14) and Caleb (18) while they navigate remote learning and the challenges that come with having three siblings all needing the wifi and a place to do their school work and zoom meetings.  Just five minutes into our conversation at the build site, it was clear that they are a tight knit family that shines when they are together and that this home means a brighter future for this incredible family. Thank you Wells Fargo for providing families like the Rios’ family a safe, decent and affordable house to call home!
