My Story

Hello! I hope everything is running well in your life. My name is Andrea Sucely Castro Tecun, and I am 17 years old. I am in 10^th grade, and it is the first year of my professional career; it is a training in computing. I am working with study guides at home, and I deliver my homework every 15 days. I would prefer to attend school because it is difficult for me to understand the lessons on the guides. I miss attending the feeding program and seeing all those children. The program is 15 minutes from my house, and I hope it can open its doors again soon. My mother sells products by catalog in order to cover our needs; she also takes care of her grandchildren. We spend good moments as a family, and we usually go to the park.

At the moment, we are not attending a church. We live in our own house, and it has three rooms and one kitchen. The house is made of concrete block with a tin sheet roof and concrete floor, and we have running water and electricity. We are worried because the tin sheets are a little damaged, so the rain seeps in. We do not celebrate Christmas due to our low resources. We have been economically affected by the current situation because my mother’s sales are not so good. I would like to ask you to pray for us since we are in need of school supplies. I am grateful to God because my family and I are healthy. I tell you that my mother helped me to give this information to an Evangelism teacher to tell you about me.

Yours truly

Andrea Sucely Castro Tecun
