My Story

Hello! I greet you in the name of Jesus hoping you are doing great! Praise the Lord my family and I attend Catholic Church; we go on Wednesday. We trust our salvation in God. Thankfully, I am healthy and so is my family. My mother is Tomasa Perez Rodriguez, and she is 32 years old. She does the chores at home, but occasionally, she goes to work as a day laborer. My father is Manuel Mucia Gutierrez, and he is 35 years old. He makes a living by digging sand from the river to sell; he does his best to supply our needs.

I am Edwin Eduardo Mucia Perez, and I am 8 years old. This year I was repeating 1st grade; my classes were at school and my learning went well. Since my parents do not have a good job or income, it has been difficult to supply what I need at school. The language I would like to learn is English. I want to help my father in his job to get more income. Christmas time is very special, and what I like the most is the firecrackers; I light some of them. At home, we usually share a cake on our birthdays; I feel so happy when mine comes. My favorite drink is lemonade. I like to play football and it is my favorite sport. The most needed items at home are groceries and vegetables. I am so thankful to the feeding program from Living Water because I receive my meals and medical care in the clinics. I send much love. Many and abundant blessings!

Lots of love,

Edwin Eduardo Mucia Perez
