My Story

Hello! I am writing and sending you this small letter hoping it reaches you in the right time. I am Valeri Fabiola Gusman Romero, and I want to tell you how my family and I are doing this year. Thankfully, we have started to attend a church called Calvary, and we take part in Sunday’s service. I only have my mother’s support because, sadly, my father passed away years ago. My mom’s name is Dulce, and she is 33 years old. She works as a technician in a clinical laboratory. She is in good health. Our income is low, so we are frequently in need of groceries; we are praying to God so that He helps us to save money and buy a bed and a wardrobe. We have one dog as a pet.

Living Water and you are very important for me because I have received God’s Word and material support through the feeding program. I attended 8^th grade this year, and I prefer face-to-face classes because it was easier to learn the lessons. It was difficult for my mother to support me with my studies, but she did her best to go ahead. I want to become an engineer when I am older, and I would like to learn English language someday. I am 15 years old, and I love going out and eating cake with my family when it is my birthday. I am in good health, and I love practicing soccer. My favorite beverage is Coca-Cola. Christmas is close and I enjoy this season because it is also my birthday and I am on vacation. I thank you for taking the time to read my letter. May God bless you!

Kisses and hugs

Valeri Fabiola Gusman Romero
