My Story

Hello! I fondly write this letter, hoping you enjoy reading my information. I am Veronica Yolanda Benito Tino and I am 10 years old. I have attended the feeding program for about four years, which has been a great blessing not only for me, but for my family too. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I want to express my gratitude to LW-Adopt A Child for all the benefits that we have received. What I like the most is praying during the Bible lessons that I receive before having my meals. I do not like going to school, so I prefer staying home to help my mother with the chores. I like cold weather because it is perfect to wear my favorite sweaters. Luckily, my whole family and I are in good health.

My father is a day laborer and strives to cover our needs. My mother is a busy housewife and does all her best to contribute to the expenses. She sells chickens and typical napkins that she makes herself. To earn an extra income, we all travel to the coast and work on a coffee farm in November and come back home in December. I want you to know that we are grateful to sister Jessica (a member of the LW staff) for the time she dedicated to encourage us to look for God, since we do not attend any church at the moment. This is all for now, but thank you so much for reading my update. Until next time!

With much love,

Veronica Yolanda Benito Tino
