I lovingly greet you, hoping the Lord is spilling a lot of blessings upon you. My full name is Sheyli Salina Canil Ajqui, and I am 13 years old. I no longer attend school because I prefer to help my mom with the household chores, feed our domestic animals, and grow corn for our consumption. I want to open my heart and tell you that my mom was diagnosed with leukemia a few years ago. Unfortunately, the disease has weakened her so much that she faints and loses consciousness. She is not under treatment because we do not have enough resources to pay for it. Despite her condition, she is brave and optimistic and does her best at home. She raises and sells hens to help with her income at home. Therefore, I beg you to pray for her. In advance, thank you so much! As for my father, let me tell you that he traveled to the United States to earn a better income. Fortunately, he is doing well and works in the field. He is in touch with us and sends us economic help monthly.  

My mom and I have been members of a Christian Church. Fortunately, my parents welcomed Jesus into their hearts many years ago. A teacher of the LW evangelism team congratulated my mom because she is sure about her salvation. She also encouraged my mom to continue trusting in God. The spiritual support that LW-Adopt A Child has given us has been valuable. Besides that, I have been blessed with food at the feeding program. My favorite food is a hamburger patty. I say goodbye to you now, but I appreciate you reading my information. See you later! 

From the bottom of my heart,
