My Story

May the grace of God be with you! My full name is Antony Emanuel Gravez Medio, and it is a blessing to write this letter to you. I am 11 years old, and I am in good health. What about you? I hope this finds you doing well. I am in fourth grade this year again. I attend school in the morning. I like resting and spending time with my family on weekends. Taking advantage of this, I thank you so much for blessing me with food and medicines for free through LW. Cooks prepare delicious food. What I love the most is having Bolognese spaghetti for lunch at the feeding program. Thanks to your loving support, the staff is on the lookout for many people and me. I would like to be part of the team to help them. Celebrating Christmas at LW is fantastic because you can receive a delicious lunch and a lovely gift.

As for my family, let me tell you that everybody is in good health. I ask you to pray for my family and me so we keep doing well. My father makes a living by carrying foreign people to local tourist places. He supports our family economically with his income. My mom also works to cover other needs and expenses at home. She works as a farmer for El Tempisque farm. We have two dogs, two cats, and one rabbit at home as pets. To end this letter, let me tell you that we attend the Catholic Church in Duenas. Fortunately, my parents received Jesus in their hearts many years ago. The LW staff shared the gospel with us as an encouragement to continue growing spiritually. See you later!

Cordiality yours,

Antony Emanuel Gravez Medio
