My Story

I fondly greet you, hoping you are having a beautiful day wherever you are. My full name is Teylor Eduardo Rojas Contreras, and I am writing this letter to tell you my news. Fortunately, I am a healthy 14-year-old boy. I am in seventh grade and have classes at school in the afternoon. I enjoy going to the field on weekends. My favorite food is spaghetti with meatballs. As you know, my father is in jail. The one who supports our family economically is my mom. She is a healthy woman. She makes a living by selling perfume, body cream, or frozen pieces of fruit covered with chocolate. She does all of the above by herself. I would love to count on your prayers for her business because sales have declined. In advance, thank you so much! My family and I started to attend a Christian Church. I already accepted Jesus as my Savior. Undoubtedly, God has been faithful to us. As proof, we received grocery bags during the pandemic from you through LW. This project has blessed my family and me in different ways. I have medical and dental care. I also receive a special Christmas gift every year. Serving children as a volunteer at LW catches my attention. I hope to do it someday. To end this letter, I send you my best wishes. I hope to hear from you soon.

With much love,

Teylor Eduardo Rojas Contreras
