My Story

Hello! It is a pleasure to send you loving greetings.  I hope you are in good health and receiving the Lord´s blessings. I want to share that I live with my mother and one sister. We three live alone at home because we do not have my father´s support. My mother works as a maid for another lady, and she is very good person with us. My sister is attending school. I am attending sixth grade and my sister is in second grade. On Saturday I help my mother to sell tamales (typical food), then she gives me some money. Fortunately I am in good health and I have been fine. I visit the doctor in the feeding program every month and I receive my vitamins to be healthy. I feel so happy at school and I have two friends. My favorite subject is mathematics. Furthermore, I love sports and watching TV. When I grow up I would like to be a good mechanic. My sister and I feel sad because sometimes we do not have the necessities at home. Fortunately my mother is supports and encourages us. She does her best to see us smiling and happy.

She is everything for us and we love her. We attend Catholic Church in the afternoon in the local plaza. I have seen my mother look tired. I think it is due to her hard work to provide us our food and everything that we need. I want to ask from the bottom of my heart for your prayers for my family, especially for my mother and that our Lord blesses her with health, so we can have her for a long time and go ahead together as a family. Unfortunately my father does not live with us because he has another family. I say good-bye to you for now and I hope to hear from you soon. May God bless you always!

Kisses and hugs
