My Story

Hello! I am Samuel Elias Hernandez Garcia, and I want to start this letter by praying that the grace of the Lord be with you! I am 12 years old and attend the fifth grade. I am grateful for being part of LW-Adopt A Child because this organization blesses me with food and medical attention. I used to suffer from serious pain in my body, but I got better with the medicine I received at the LW clinics. Thankfully, I am a healthy boy. I enjoy attending church with my family because we enjoy learning about Jesus, who rose on the third day and was elevated to heaven. We are members of the Prince of Peace Church. Our favorite activity at church is the anniversary.

I want you to know that I have a good emotional connection with my mother. I love going with her wherever she goes to do an errand. She is dedicated to taking care of our family, while my father works as a day laborer in our village. As you know, he traveled to the United States, but he returned to our country a few months ago. To end this update, I want to share that I made a good friend in my village some years ago. His name is Jeremias, and he loves playing soccer as I do. Thank you so much for reading my information! My mother and I were glad to share this letter with LW just for you.

From the bottom of my heart,

Samuel Elias Hernandez Garcia
