My Story

This is Carlos Eduardo Grave Toj, and I am so happy to write this letter to share a little about my life with you. I hope you and your loved ones are doing well. Fortunately, I am a healthy 13-year-old boy, and I am in seventh grade. I love playing soccer alongside my uncle, Israel. I identify with him because we have a lot of confidence in each other. Besides that, he pampers my siblings and me a lot. I am glad because my whole family is doing well. I am grateful to the Lord because we have a new baby at home. My father makes a living by making artisanal wells, while my mother dedicates herself to taking care of my siblings and me. We raise and sell chickens, pigs, and cows to survive.

Please pray for us and our well-being. Our economic situation sometimes gets complicated, but I am not worried because I know we can do everything in Christ, who is our strength. My family and I are members of a Christian Church called the Good Samaritan. All the activities at church are engaging, but our favorite one is the Thanksgiving service for the harvest. It is time to say goodbye, but I appreciate you taking the time to read my information. May God bless you, keep you safe, and his grace shine upon you!

Sincerely yours,

Carlos Eduardo Grave Toj
