My Story

PENDING PHOTO 2024

Hello, it is a pleasure to greet you through this and I hope our Lord is taking care of you! My name is Cirilo Armando Garcia Garcia. I am now 13 years old. Unfortunately, I could not continue with my studies due to a limited resource; last year I finished primary school. Now, I am working by tending a store that belongs to one of my uncles, and thank God, I can help with some money at home. I like to play football and I take advantage of the weekend to go out and play with my friends. My mother stays busy with the housework and goes to wash clothes for other people. Moreover, she raises hens, turkeys, pigs and cows; she sells them when it is needed. In addition, we cultivate corn and black beans for our livelihood. My father is still working in the United States, and he does masonry work. Unfortunately, he is having problems with alcohol and it is affecting us.

My mother has welcomed Jesus into her heart and we are a Catholic family. For now, my father is not attending church. I want to ask for your prayers for my family, especially for my father who has a problem with alcohol. Let me tell you I love the Christmas celebration that the evangelism team prepares in the feeding program; the songs and choreographies are very nice.  I am so blessed to be registered in the Living Water program; I receive tasty meals, medical care and a Christmas gift. The food I love the most from the program is fried chicken.  Finally, let me tell you that my mother gave this information to the LW team to update you about me. I say goodbye to you for now. I pray to our almighty God to bless you!

Kind regards,

Cirilo Armando Garcia Garcia
