My Story

Hello, I hope you and your loved ones are well. I’m Hilda Yoberli Ajqui Toj. I am 11 years old, and I have completed 3^rd grade this year. I go to school in the mornings and in the afternoon, I help with the chores and work in the house. I love going to the feeding program each week. My favorite food to eat there is the fried chicken. The free medicines they provide have been a huge blessing to me and my family as well. I love the Christmas celebration we do at the end of the year as well. My favorite part is when we receive our beautiful Christmas gift. I want to tell you now a little bit about my family. My father’s name is Oliverio Ajqui Riz and my mother’s name is Hilda Toj Mendez. My mom is a seamstress. She sews sheets and cloths with typical designs that she sells. She also raises chickens and grows corn to sell so she can make money to support my family. My mother works hard to support my family since my father is no longer working to provide for our family.

I want to ask you to pray for my father for his health and wellness. As a family, we go to Prince of Peace Church. We have gone for many years. My mother also received the message of the Gospel from the Living Water teacher who visited us. She was grateful to hear this message, and it brought encouragement to her. I say goodbye now, wishing you many blessings and good health. Thank you for taking the time to read about me. Big hugs until next time!

With much love,

Hilda Yoberli Ajqui Toj
