My Story

Hi! It is a pleasure to greet you cordially, hoping you have a successful day. My name is Shanell Esmeralda Nicholas Ramirez and I am 16 years old. Currently, we are not attending any church.  This year I studied the 9^th grade at school and received face-to-face classes every day. I learned a lot from this study method. Nowadays, school fees are expensive, but my parents made an effort to support my brother and me with school expenses. Sometimes, it was difficult to cover every expense. I speak Spanish, but I would like to learn the English language. My dream is to become a pre-primary teacher. My favorite celebration of the year is Christmas because I like to spend that day with my family. Mineral water and melon juice are my favorite beverages. Among sports, I prefer basketball. We have 3 dogs at home. What I like for my birthday is to eat delicious food along with my family. By the grace of God, my family and I are in good health.

My mother`s name is Esmeralda Amarilis Ramirez. She is 49 years old. Currently, she continues earning a living by working as a nursing assistant to support us with home expenses. My father`s name is Rene Oswaldo Nicholas Ayala. He is 50 years old. At the moment, he has the same job as a heavy machinery driver. As a humble family, our current needs are groceries, shoes, and clothes. We are grateful to Living Water because we have been blessed with meals, medical and dental, and spiritual support. I want to say thank you for the Christmas gift that I received recently through LW. May God bless you richly!

Warm regards,

Shanell Esmeralda Nicholas Ramirez
