Many greetings to you! This is Deisy Estefani Chingo Grave, and I am glad to share my information with you. How are you doing? Let me tell you that fortunately, I am a healthy 11-year-old girl. I am in fifth grade and I am doing my best at school. I study on the morning shift. The people who I live with are my grandmother and younger brother German. Fortunately, they are in good health. My mom established a relationship with a man and got married to him recently. Today, they live together in another village, but they cover our expenses and needs. The name of my stepfather is Alex Morente. He works as a day laborer. As for my biological father, let me tell you that he abandoned my brother and me a few years ago.
My grandmother is a housewife. I usually help her to wash our clothes on weekends. We grow corn at home for our consumption. We also raise hens and cows to sell. Let me tell you that my grandmother has been a member of the Prince of Peace Christian Church for many years. She takes my brother and me to the services. A teacher of the LW evangelism team visited us recently and encouraged my grandmother to continue trusting in her salvation. I am glad to be part of LW-Adopt A Child because I have been blessed with food, medicine, and a Christmas gift annually. Those have been a great help for my family. I love fried chicken and I feel so happy when the staff prepares it for lunch at the feeding program. I say goodbye to you now, but my grandmother begs you to pray for all of us so the Lord keeps us healthy and safe.
With many blessings,
Deisy Estefani Chingo Grave
