My Story

I hope you are having a lovely day alongside your lovely family; God bless you! Praise the Lord my family and I continue attending Catholic Church; we go on Mondays. We trust our salvation in Jesus Christ. I am so thankful to God because my family and I are healthy. My father is Jose Ruiz Gutierrez, and he is 38 years old. He works hard to supply the family's needs; he works both as a farmer and day laborer. My mother is Petrona Ruiz Gutierrez, and she is 36 years old. Most of the time, she does the housework and raises hens for selling to get income. At home, we grow corn for the family's consumption.

I am Sandra Odilia Ruiz Ruiz, and I am a 12-year-old girl. I am attending 5th grade; I like to receive my classes at school because I am learning a lot. My parents are striving to support me at school even though they do not have a good income. The language I would like to learn is English; it is so interesting. Later, I would like to go to work in a tortilla shop and be able to help my family economically. My favorite drink is oatmeal which is delicious. The sport I like the most is football. On my birthday, I like to have a cake to share with my family; it is special for me. My favorite season of the year is Christmas because we prepare “tamales y ponche” (a typical dish and hot fruit punch); we have a cheerful time together. I am so grateful to Living Water who provides me with tasty meals, and medical care in the clinics; it is a big blessing for me. For me, the top priorities are groceries and firewood to cook our meals. So long, take care. Many and rich blessings to you!

Lots of love,

Sandra Odilia Ruiz Ruiz
