My Story

I feel so blessed to introduce myself through this letter. My name is Diego Jordany Tiquiram de la Cruz, and I hope you are doing well. I am 12 years old, and I attend school as a sixth-grade student. I go to school on the morning shift and do homework in the afternoon. Fortunately, my mom and I are in good health. Talking about my mom, let me tell you that she is the only one I live with. She is a single parent and works hard as a domestic employee to cover all the expenses and needs at home. Therefore, I like helping her with the housework. My biological father is not part of my life because he abandoned our family and me many years ago. My mom and I do not have domestic animals or grow any products because we do not have enough space at home.

We used to attend Ebenezer Christian Church one year ago, but we stopped doing it. So, I ask you to pray for us to start seeking God again. I am grateful to you and all those who support Living Water to bless many children like me. This project has blessed me with delicious food for free at the feeding program. When the staff prepares chow mein for lunch, I get excited because that is my favorite food. I enjoy celebrating Christmas at the LW building because the staff organizes lovely activities like singing Christmas songs. I say goodbye to you now, but I want you to know you have a friend in Guatemala. Take care of yourself!

Sincerely yours,

Diego Jordany Tiquiram de la Cruz
