My Story

Praise the Lord my family and I are in good health. Due to a lack of time, we do not attend church. Sadly, my father passed away last year because he had an alcoholic problem. My mother´s name is Sebastiana Tecum Toj, and she is 46 years old. She makes a living by weaving typical clothes for selling and getting income. She also raises hens, turkeys and pigs for selling. Fortunately, I have some siblings who are working in the United States, and they are sending us financial support. We harvest corn and black beans for our consumption.

I am Mynor Alexander Tzoy Tecum, and I am a 11-year-old boy. I am repeating 4th grade; my learning has improved since I receive classes at school. Supporting me at school has been so hard for my mother because of a lack of resources, and she does not have a good job or specific wage. The English language catches my attention, and I would like to learn how to speak it. When I grow up, I would like to go to work in the USA to help my mother with the expenses. Playing football is so much fun; it is my favorite sport. I love drinking sodas, and they are my favorite beverages. I like Christmas time because of the firecrackers. Something I would like to have on my birthday is a cake to share with my family; it must be so special. I take this opportunity to give thanks for the love and support I receive from you through Living Water; I am so blessed to be part of the program. Recently, I was sick with flu, and fortunately, I receive medical care in the LW clinics. For now, our greatest needs are food and clothes. Sending much love. Every blessing for you!

Best wishes,

Mynor Alexander Tzoy Tecum
