My Story

Hello! My full name is Lecsy Clarisa Lopez Grave, and it is a big blessing to share a little about my life with you. I am 18 years old, and fortunately, I am in good health. I stay home and help my mom with the housework. I truly believe that Jesus is my savior and cares for me all the time. I remember that I experienced an event that made me feel afraid when I was a child. However, God made me feel secure that everything was okay. I attend the Catholic church alongside my family. We enjoy all the activities held at church during Holy Week.

I am grateful to the Almighty because my parents are doing well. My father is dedicated to raising and selling cows to cover our needs, while my mom takes care of our family. She also raises and sells chickens to contribute to the household expenses. I identify with her because she is a hard worker. She is a diabetic woman, but she is stable thanks to the treatment she has to take. To end this letter, I want to share that I occasionally go for walks or have a snack with my best friend, Elvira. We became friends about eight years ago. May God bless you!

Affectionately,

Lecsy Clarisa Lopez Grave
