My Story

Hello! How are you? My name is Christopher Alexander, and I am writing this letter to introduce myself. I am 15 years old, and I am in good health. I did not pass my 5^th grade last year, so I am repeating it this year. I am living with my uncle, Julio, and his wife, Nancy, since I do not have any of my parents with me. Sadly, my mother passed away in July last year, and I am still recovering from my loss. My uncle works as a security guard in a condominium, and he covers our needs. His wife is a housewife, and I would like to ask for your prayers for her since she suffers from diabetes; she already takes medicine to control it.

I have a friend named David, and we like playing soccer together. The member of my family with whom I identify most is my uncle because he is a hard-working man. I tell you that I have lived good experiences at the feeding program, especially the Christmas celebration. I love the dramas, and I have felt God’s presence during these activities. For me, Jesus is my father and an unconditional friend; He is wisdom. My family and I are members of the Catholic Church, but lately, we have not been attending the masses; I hope to do it soon. We believe and trust in God. In this occasion, my cousin, Maria, helped me to do this letter. We send you our best wishes. May God bless you!

Sincerely yours

Christopher Alexander Quinonez Najera
