My Story

Hello dearest sponsor!  It makes me happy to be able to say hello to you hoping that you are doing well.  I want to tell you that I live with my parents and my siblings.  My father works painting houses and other buildings, and my mother takes care of our home.  I have problems with my speech and hearing.  My mother takes me to speech therapy at the hospital.  When I am sick, she takes me to the medical clinic at the feeding program.  It is a big help for my family.  At home, I help my mother with the chores and then we work on my therapies.  I am still not going to school, but God willing, I will go next year.  I have been to some pools with my family and it was a wonderful time for us. 

When I grow up, I want to be a police officer or a firefighter.  I like to play soccer and toy cars with my friends.  Currently, my family does not attend a church.  When we have problems at home, my parents talk and pray for God to help us.  I ask you to pray for my hearing and speech problems.  I say goodbye to you for now asking God to pour blessings over you wherever you are.  I send you a big hug. 

Blessings and much love,

Erick David Jolan Miranda
