My Story

First, thank you so much for taking the time to read my update. I am Damaris, and I want to share a little about my life with you. I live with my mother and older brother. We are members of the Holocaust of the King Church. We usually attend our services on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Going ahead has not been easy for us, especially for my mother. She has been the only one who supports our family needs since my father abandoned us. We need food supplies and a new bed. Her name is Evelyn Pacahay, and she is 37 years old. She works in her own business; she sells second-hand clothes and fragrances. Thankfully, our health is in good condition. I am eight years old and I attend school as a second grader. I want to become a doctor and police officer, so I am doing my best at school. I also would like to learn how to speak Japanese.

Nowadays, I have a better relationship with my classmates and my knowledge is increasing. My favorite season is summer because I can play in the water. I like drinking mango juice, and my favorite sport is soccer. My birthday was in June and I could celebrate it with my family. My mother strives to save money and buys a delicious cake to make our day special, so I love her so much. This is all for now, but before saying goodbye, I want to tell you about the feeding program. It has been a good place where children like me can learn about Jesus. Besides that, it has been a blessing for many families. Therefore, I thank you so much for being part of those good-hearted people who change lives with their loving support!

Sincerely yours,

Damaris Carolina Pacahay Garcia
