My Story

Hi! It is a pleasure to greet you in the name of Jesus and I wish you a blessed and happy day. I want to share with you a little about my family and me. I am Iker Ulises Martinez Martinez and I am 12 years old. Nowadays, we are not attending any church. My mother´s name is Marcia Raimundo Martinez Hernandez. She is 43 years old. Nowadays, she continues doing chores at home and taking care of the family. My father´s name is Francisco Ulises Martinez Contreras.  He is 43 years old. He earns a living by working as a delivery man in order to support us financially. I want to tell you that we have 2 dogs and 1 cat at home. As a humble family, our current needs are groceries and a bed. Thank God my family and I are in good health.

This year I am in 5^th grade at school. I am receiving face-to-face classes every day and I learn a lot with this study method. At the moment, school fees are expensive, but my father is making an effort to support me with school expenses. My dream is to become a professional soccer player. I speak Spanish where I live, but I would like to learn English which is an interesting language. My favorite celebration of the year is Easter because I have a week of vacation from school and I like to rest in that time. I prefer to drink Coca-Cola. What I like to do for my birthday is to eat a delicious cake and share it with my family.  Among sports, I prefer soccer.  My family and I are so 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 receive every December. May God bless you!

Warm regards,

Iker Ulises Martinez Martinez
