My Story

Hello! My full name is Yesica Candelaria Cux Ramos and I am so happy to share my updated information with you by means of this letter. I am 16 years old and I am in good health. I dropped out of school some years ago, so I am dedicated to helping my mother with the household chores. I prefer cold weather because I like drinking coffee. My family and I do not attend any church at the moment, but it would be good to do it someday and serve with my voice as a singer. Sister Jessica (a member of the LW staff) recently shared the gospel with my mother as an encouragement to look for God. I want to use this opportunity to tell you that my family and I are grateful to God for blessing us and many other people in our community through the feeding program.

My mother enrolled me about ten years ago because she heard that children received meaningful support, like spiritual guidance. I receive Bible lessons before having lunch and what I like doing the most is singing. Fortunately, there is nobody in my family sick. My father makes a living as a day laborer and my mother sells chickens that she raises herself to provide my siblings and me with the essentials. This is all for now, but I thank you so much for taking the time to read my information. 

Sincerely yours,

Yesica Candelaria Cux Ramos
