My Story

Hello, I am very happy to share news through this and I hope our Lord is blessing you! My name is Anllely Jire Garcia Cifuentes. I will turn 12 years old this November. I attend 5^th grade and my classes are on the morning shift. I enjoy riding on a bicycle on weekends when I have more time. I love eating rice with chicken, and my mother prepares it delicious. My family and I are members of the Calvary Church; my mother has Jesus into her heart and my grandma is a servant at church. I am very thankful to Living Water and you for all the support I receive through the feeding program; the food and medical care are a great support for me and my family. One day, I would like to join the LW staff and serve other children; it must be a wonderful experience.

I want to tell you that my mother had a tumor in her stomach and it was causing a lot of pain. So, she had surgery to remove it on May 24^th of this year. The doctor sent the mass to the labs to be sure what kind of tumor it was, and praise the Lord, it was not a cancerous tumor. She was suspended from her job and is recovering at home. Besides that, she is diabetic which is delaying her recovery. Unfortunately, we have passed through economic troubles since she was suspended, and my mother´s boss told her that he could not wait for her for a long time. This situation is tough for my family because we do not have enough resources to supply our needs. My grandma works by taking care of an elderly person and she is giving us financial support. Please, I want to ask for your prayers for my family, especially for my mother´s health and our daily provision. Let me tell you that my grandma gave this information to the LW staff to share news about me. This is all for now. May our Lord continue blessing your life!

Bunch of hugs,

Anllely Jire Garcia Cifuentes
