My Story

It is my pleasure to greet you in the name of Jesus and I trust he is taking care of you! Praise the Lord my family and I attend Bethuel Church; we go on Sundays. We appreciate so much the encouraging words that LW staff gave us this time. My family and I are in good health, thanks to the Lord. My mother is Lucila Sanchez, and she is 38 years old. She makes a living by making and selling tortillas to supply the family´s needs. My father abandoned us, and we do not know anything about him.

I am Allan Josue Garcia Sanchez, and I am a 12-year-old boy. I am a fifth-grade student; my learning has improved since I receive my teacher's explanation of the lessons, and it is better than just receiving the homework like it was during the pandemic. My mother is the only one who covers the school and home expenses, and it is hard for her because she does not have a good job. Later, I would like to study to become a policeman. The sport I like the most is basketball. I like sodas, especially Coca-Cola which is my favorite one. The climate I prefer is summer, and in my colony, we set up pools and I have fun with my siblings. I get so happy when my birthday comes because my mother usually buys new clothes and shoes for me; it is fantastic. I am so grateful to Living Water for providing me with tasty meals, and I appreciate all the support I receive there. I learned about God, and I learned to read the bible. At home, the top priorities are groceries. Sending much love. Every kind of blessing to you!

Hugs and kisses,

Allan Josue Garcia Sanchez
