My Story

It is my pleasure to greet you affectionately hoping you and yours are doing great! For now, we are not attending church, and we appreciate so much the encouraging words that LW staff gave us this time to look for a church and seek God. My family and I are in good health, thanks to the Lord. My mother is Mayra Susana Miranda Hernandez, and she is 39 years old. She is a housewife and watches over my siblings and me. My father is Erickson David Jolan Miranda, and he is 36 years old. He works by painting houses and is the one who covers the home expenses. We have a dog as a pet.

This is Erick David Jolan Miranda, and I am a 12-year-old boy. Because of the hearing and speech problems I have, I do not attend school. Unfortunately, my listening device could not be repaired due to our lack of resources, and I am missing it a lot. When I grow up, I would like to be a policeman. I enjoy playing with water, and I can do it in summer; I like sunny days. My favorite drink is Coca-Cola. The sport I like the most is football. On my birthday, my family celebrates with a cake; they love me so much. I feel very blessed to receive tasty meals in the feeding program and also receive medical care at the LW clinics. At the moment, our greatest needs are bed, shoes and clothes. Sending much love hoping to receive news from you soon. May God bless you in everything you do!

Bunch of hugs,

Erick David Jolan Miranda
