Customer Story: Why Elizabeth sends money to Mexico

Elizabeth lives in California and is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Mexico. She sends money home to her parents-in-law and sister-in-law in Mexico to help with everyday necessities, groceries, household expenses and unexpected needs.

We recently asked our customers to share how the money they send makes an impact in their lives and for their loved ones. Many customers told us how they can reliably send care and support for their loved ones with MoneyGram. Here’s a story that warmed our hearts:

Meet Elizabeth and her family πŸ‘‹

Elizabeth lives in California and is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Mexico. She sends money home to her parents-in-law and sister-in-law in Mexico to help with everyday necessities, groceries, household expenses and unexpected needs.

β€œIt brings stability to their home and reassurance that they're not facing life's challenges alone.”

Elizabeth and her husband also send money to build their retirement home in Jalisco β€” a place rooted in family, culture and the life they're building together.

"Every transfer helps turn that shared dream into reality, brick by brick.”

That’s why we build at MoneyGram.

Across the world, millions send money that changes lives. We’re proud to help make that possible.
