My Story

My name is Jaqueline Perlita, and I am glad to share my last news with you through this letter. I hope you find my information engaging. I attend a Christian Church called Restauration on Sundays. Unfortunately, my family has not decided to attend church with me, but I hope they can do it someday. I want to use this opportunity to tell you that LW is a crucial project for my family and me. I have medical and dental care and receive groceries. Besides that, my mother could listen to the gospel thanks to a member of LW. It was a great blessing for her. As you know, my father passed away many years ago. His name was Miguel Angel Yucute Mejia. My mother, Jaqueline Karina Maas Chajon, is 42 years old. She is a hardworking woman who does her best as a street vendor. She sells different kind of products to support my sister and me. She just established a relationship with Mr. Samuel Lopez. He is 32 years old and works as a mason. Luckily, we are all in good health. We are a needy family, and our greatest needs are groceries and an extra bed for me. I must sleep with my brother on the same bed. I am eighteen years old, and this year, I am a seventh grader again. I have had trouble learning, so I prefer to receive face-to-face classes rather than online because I need so much help from the teachers to understand the lessons. Unfortunately, everything is expensive, and money is barely enough to pay round-trip fares from my house to go to school and cover the school supplies. I would love to learn everything about beauty care to make a living as a professional stylist. I also would love to speak English someday. Holy Week is my favorite holiday because I enjoy going out with my family. I love drinking Coca-Cola, and my favorite sport is soccer. I had my birthday in July. What I enjoy the most is going out with my family to celebrate my birthday. I will leave you now, but I want you to know that my mother gave all this information to a member of LW to share it with you. See you later!

Many kisses and hugs,

Jaqueline Perlita Maas Chajon
