My Story

Hello dearest sponsor!  I hope that you enjoy reading my letter and that you are doing well.  The reason that I am writing is that I want you to know a little about me.  I live with My siblings and I live with my grandmother and my aunt.  My grandmother works as a waitress and she is the one who sacrifices and strives hard to provide for us.  Thanks to God, I am in good health.  I am studying in an all girl’s school called Manuel Cabral.  I have a lot of friends that I play with at recess.  We play jump rope, tag, and hide-and-seek.  At home, I help with the household duties such as sweeping and picking up shoes.  One time, my mother took us to Port San Jose and we had a wonderful time.

I enjoyed seeing all of the waves in the sea.  It was really beautiful.  We attend church and I really enjoy the dances in my church.  When I grow up, I would like to be a hairdresser because I want to cut and color hair and do different kinds of hairstyles.  I would like to ask you to pray for my family and especially for my grandmother.  I say goodbye to you with much love hoping to meet you one day.

Blessings and much love,

Amy Hanay Polanco Chavez
