My Story

Hello,

I would like first of all to thank you for taking the time to read my update. I tell you that I walk for ten minutes to arrive to the feeding program. I am Jefferson Josue. I am 14 years old and I had my birthday in March. I was not registered at school this year because my parents did not have the economic resources to pay for it. I now stay at home and I help my mother to take care of my siblings and do some household chores.

The people who live in the house are my parents, siblings and me. My mother’s duties are taking care of us and doing the housework, and my father’s job consists of selling pieces of cake at home; he was working in a bakery but he was fired. We are not attending a church but we pray at home. I am grateful to God because we all are in good health. In spite of the hard health situation that we are currently facing in our country, our Lord has been taking care of us. We trust in our Lord's mercy and that He will put His healing hands over all people who are suffering during this pandemic. I would like to receive a letter from you and have the opportunity to share our life experiences with each other.

Thinking of you!

Jefferson Josue Zamora Chocoj
