My Story

Hello dearest sponsor!  How are you?  Today, my family and I are in good health, and I hope that you are as well.  My father is still in the United States working on a poultry farm.  He sometimes calls us to see how we are doing.  My mother is a housewife, and she also raises domestic animals to sell and cover our expenses.  My two single brothers work on a farm to earn money to help with the expenses.  Two other brothers are married.  I am the only one who is still going to school.  I am in the 4^th grade, and thanks to God, it is going well.  I spend many happy moments with my friends at school playing soccer.  I do not work outside of our home, but sometimes, I help my brothers when they go to work.  My family has spent many happy moments together at Christmas, but I especially like it when we celebrate my birthday.  They buy me a cake and we have a lot of fun together.  My family and I go to a church called “Prince of Peace”, and the most interesting part to me is listening to the Word of God. 

After school, I do my homework and then I either play or just simply rest.  Later on, I want to have a job and also my own business in order to get ahead in life.  I want you to know that I am very happy and that you have been a great blessing in my life.  I want to ask you to help me pray for my family and especially for my father.  I do not remember him because I was very small when he left to go to the United States, and I do not have any photos of him.  I miss him a lot.  I will pray for you with much love hoping that I will meet you some day.  Thank you for all your support.

Blessings and much love,

Kevin Abimael Chen Riz
