My Story

I am excited to greet you through this letter. My name is Juan Ramos Grave, and I hope you are doing well alongside your loved ones. I am a healthy 10-year-old boy. I am in third grade and receive classes in the morning. I usually do homework in the afternoon. I like helping my mom to do the household chores on weekends. Let me tell you that LW has blessed me so much with food and medicine. I love eating fried chicken the most at the feeding program. I like celebrating Christmas at LW because the staff organizes engaging games.

Now, I want you to know a little about my family. The one who supports my expenses and needs is my mother. She traveled to the United States recently to find a better job opportunity. Thankfully, she is healthy and has a job. It consists of butchering chicken. I ask you to pray for her health and safety. I live under the care of my grandparents. Fortunately, they are in good health. Although my grandfather is no longer strong, he does his best to grow corn for our consumption. My grandmother is a housewife and raises hens. My family and I attend a Catholic Charismatic group. We trust that God is our Savior. To end this letter, let me tell you that a teacher of the LW evangelism team encouraged my grandmother to continue growing spiritually. May God bless you!

Kind regards,

Juan Ramos Grave
