My Story

Hello dearest sponsor!  How are you?   I hope that you are doing well.  I live with my mother and my siblings in my paternal grandmother’s house.  My mother works as a cook in a dining room.  All of us are in good health.  My middle sister, Emely takes care of us and gives us our food.  I go to the medical clinic at the feeding program when I am sick.  At home, I help my sister to do the cleaning and run errands.  I am doing well in school and my favorite class is mathematics.  God willing, I am going to pass my grade.  I did not study for two years because my father passed away and I was discouraged because of this.  Also, we did not have enough money for school expenses.  This year, my mother enrolled me in school because she said that it is important that I go even though we do not have the money to do it.  She is doing everything that she can to give me the things that they ask me to have for school even though sometimes it is not possible.  We do not go out to other places because my mother does not have the money, but my aunt took me to her house in Boca Del Monte.  There is a beautiful park and there are a lot of soccer and basketball courts.  My dream is to play soccer in a stadium.  I like to play ball, tag and basketball with my friends and I like to run.  I do not attend church, but when I go to the feeding program, I learn to pray and to respect my elders.  I ask for your prayers that God provides for my family.  I say goodbye to you with a big hug.  May God bless you.

Blessings and much love,

Cesar Emanuel Del Cid Hernandez
