My Story

I send you kind greetings and I hope you are in good health. My name is Kevin Daniel Garcia De La Cruz and I am ten years old. This year, I am in the first grade at school again because I did not pass it about two years ago. I am receiving face-to-face classes two days per week and the teachers give us homework to do at home. Sadly, my biological father abandoned us years ago and he does not help us economically because he has another family. My mother established a new relationship with Mr. Antonio De la Cruz and he was living with us but he separated from my mother. My mother does the household chores and goes to wash clothes for other people in order to supply our needs. My family and I felt so happy to receive the groceries bags from Living Water because no one helps with something so valuable.

The covid-19 situation affected us in our economy because we could not go to pick coffee beans at the coast and we also have been affected in our studies because we do not have good explanations about the topics. We thank God because He has not left us without work. My mother does her best effort to cover the home expenses even though she only has work three days per week. We pray that God gives you good health and many blessings. Thank God, we are healthy and we have not gotten sick by the covid-19 virus. We are attending Christian Church every Saturday. I want to tell you, that one of the AAC-team called my mother and she was the one who gave this information about me; it was by phone for the pandemic. May God bless you and take care of you!

Hugs and Kisses,

Kevin Daniel Garcia De La Cruz
