My Story

My full name is Graciela Lucrecia De La Cruz Ruiz, and I am so happy to share a little about my life with you. I am 15 years old, and I am in sixth grade again. My mother told me that I used to get a cough easily when I was a child, but God healed me. I am grateful to Him because I have been healthy so far. Jesus is my Savior, and I like learning about him at church. My family and I are members of Source of Life Church. There are engaging activities at church, but my favorites are the Thanksgiving services for the harvest.

I tell you that my father does not live with us because he works hard in the city to support our family. He is doing well and makes a living by carrying heavy packages in the market. He usually visits us once a month. On the other hand, my mother takes care of my siblings and me. She is the best mother ever! To end this letter, I want you to know that my sister Leidy is my best friend. We have a lot of fun getting together with our siblings to play soccer. Thank you so much for reading my information!

With much love,

Graciela Lucrecia De La Cruz Ruiz
