My Story

Dear Sponsor,

I am happy to write you about my personal information. My name is Kennet Natanael Vasquez Machan, and I am 12 years old. This year, I am in fifth grade, and I go to bring my study guides from school every fifteen days and give my homework to my teachers. It has been hard for my mother to cover my school expenses because she is a single parent and has to spend much money on internet plans. My mother earns a living by working in a tortillas business.

This pandemic has affected our economy because it has been difficult for my mother to find a stable job. However, God has been faithful with us because He has helped us to go ahead and has put a plate of food on our table. We received grocery bags from Living Water and they were a great blessing for us because there were times that we did not have much food at home. I thank you so much for supporting me, thinking of me and praying for me; I pray God blesses you in a big way. Thank God, none of my family has gotten Covid-19, and we are in good health. We are not attending a church because my mother does not have much time; LW staff has encouraged us to seek God’s Way.

Lastly, I want to tell you that my mother helped me to give this information by phone to a LW Evangelism teacher. The staff did not meet us personally because they are avoiding physical contact as much as possible since they want to protect us from the current virus. I say goodbye to you for now hoping to hear from you soon.

Love and blessings

Kennet Natanael Vasquez Machan
