My Story

It is a great joy in my heart to greet you through this hoping our Lord is blessing you! This is Kimberly Yesenia Chingo De La Cruz. I recently turned 12 years old. I am doing well at school. I am in 5th grade and I take my classes in the morning. I like weekends because my mother takes me to visit my grandma. My mother is a housewife and raises hens and pigs to sell and get some income. We grow corn for our livelihood. My father continues living and working in the United States, and he washes dishes in a restaurant. Even though my father suffers from diabetes, he is under medical treatment, and it helps him to stay stable.

At Christmas the evangelism team prepares a special activity in the feeding program; I like the choreography and the gift I receive; it makes me so happy. I thank God for blessing me with food and medical care through Living Water; it means a great help for my family. I love the hamburger patties that I receive in the program. We are members of the Assembly of God Church; my mother and I have accepted Jesus into our hearts. My mother is the treasurer at church. We are fine, nevertheless, I want you to pray for us, especially my father working far away from us. Let me tell you that my mother gave this information to the LW staff to share news about me. For now, that is all. I pray to God to bless and take care of you wherever you go!

Bunch of hugs,

Kimberly Yesenia Chingo De La Cruz
