My Story

I am glad to tell you a little more about my life. First, my mother helped to collect this information when LW team visited our home. She listened to the gospel, but unfortunately, we are not attending any church. My mother is thankful for the support that I receive through LW Adopt-A-Child in the Feeding Center and she also is asking for your prayers for her health because sadly, she is suffering again from her right kidney. She is taking medicines to calm the pain, but she is afraid because of her health situation. She is waiting for a new checkup in the public center and she needs to do some exams to find the reason for the pain, but in spite of this, she continues working by tending her small snacks store. Her name is Nilda Elisabet Rivera Hernandez. My father is Jose Emmanuel Sanchez Salazar and he earns a living by working as a messenger. By the grace of God, he is in good health. My parents are doing their best for our family. 

I want to tell you that my uncle Omar passed away and I was so sad because he was a special person in my life. This experience impacted my heart, but God has comforted me and I feel his presence. I also was sick with dengue fever, but God healed me. For me, Jesus is the son of God and he died for all people. My father loves me and he helps me to do the homework from classes. I admire him. Cristofer is my best friend and we like to play soccer and do the homework from classes together. We have been friends since we were younger. I am eleven years old and I am studying the 5^th grade at school. I am Joshua Jeancarlo Sanchez Rivera. Thank you for your attention. Every kind of blessing to you!

Huge hugs,

Joshua Jeancarlo Sanchez Rivera
