My Story

Hello! My name is Isaac Antonio, and I am delighted to greet you through this means. I hope you are doing well. Let me tell you that my family and I do not attend any church at the moment. However, we trust in God. I have been able to hear God’s news through the LW staff. Taking advantage of this, I want you to know that this is a meaningful project where many children like me have received many blessings. My father is Mario Antonio Hernandez, and he is 29 years old. He works in a car wash to support our family. My mom is Carla Yojana Lopez Velasquez, and she is 38 years old. She makes a living as a dental assistance. Fortunately, my whole family and I are in good health. We are a family with low economic resources. Some of our greatest needs are a new bed and needs for school for next. As for pets, let me tell you that we have two lovely dogs at home.

Now, I want to tell you a little bit more about me. I am 10 years old, and this year, I was in fourth grade. I prefer to receive face-to-face classes because I learn the lessons much better and play with my friends at recess. I want to continue studying to become a lawyer and speak English. Therefore, I would love to count on your prayers to accomplish them. Summer is my favorite season because I love playing with water. The holiday that I love the most is Christmas because of vacation. I like drinking Coca-Cola and my favorite sport is soccer. When my birthday comes, I love having a delicious cake to celebrate with my family. To end this letter, let me tell you that my grandmother, Blanca Velasquez, helped me to give all this information to an AAC member to share my latest news with you. I will leave you for now, but I hope to hear from you soon. Take care of yourself!

Cordiality yours,

Isaac Antonio Hernandez Lopez
