My Story

First, thank you so much for taking the time to read my information. My name is Nataly Elisa and I am glad to greet you through this letter. I hope you are doing well. I live with my parents and Nataly, who is my oldest sister. We attend the Assembly of God Sinai Church. We usually have services almost every day, except on Mondays and Thursdays. My father, Erick Perez, is 26 years old. He supports our needs by working as a farmer. My mother is a hardworking housewife. Her name is Brenda Esquit and she is 27 years old. By God’s grace, none of us are sick. We are a needy family and recognize we are nothing without the Almighty. What we need the most are groceries and prayers. Therefore, I would love to count on your prayers for us. Taking advantage of this moment, I want you to know the feeding program is a meaningful project because we have received so much material and spiritual help. We do not have many domestic animals at home. We only have a cute cat. Our land is not large, but there is enough space to plant and harvest sweet potatoes for our consumption.

I am seven years old and this year, I attend school as a first grader. I prefer to receive face-to-face classes because I am learning a lot and better. Thankfully, my parents have not had economic trouble buying my school supplies. I would love to become a vet and speak English when I am older. My favorite season is summer because I enjoy going to the beach and feeling the sunlight in my skin. There are many beverages, but my favorite is pineapple juice. I will have my birthday in November. What I love the most is eating a delicious lunch and cake to celebrate a new year of life. Soccer is a good sport, but I prefer cycling. To end this letter, I want you to know that my mother gave all this information to a teacher of LW to inform you about it. I say goodbye to you for now, but I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Nataly Elisa Perez Esquit
