My Story

I am so excited to send my greetings through this, and I trust in God you are fine! Praise the Lord my family and I attend New Jerusalem Church; we go on Sundays. We appreciate so much that the LW staff is worried about our spiritual life. Gratefully, my family and I are in good health. My mother is Caroling Marisol Figueroa Gordian, and she is 32 years old. She is a housewife. My father is Julio Armando Gonzalez Curuchich, and he is 34 years old. He is employed as both a farmer and a bricklayer; he is supplying the family´s needs.

I am Eva Cornelia Gonzalez Figueroa, and I am 11 years old. I am a fifth-grade student; I receive classes at school which is better for me to comprehend when my teacher is explaining the lessons. Thank God, my father can support me at school and buy what I need. My dream is to continue with my studies and become a lawyer in the future. The English language catches my attention, and I would like to learn how to speak it. I feel happy when my birthday comes. If possible, my parents buy me a cake. Something I enjoy at Christmas time are the delicious meals of the season. Basketball is the sport I like the most. I want to tell you that I love drinking milk, and it is my favorite beverage. My family and I are so grateful to Living Water for all the support I receive. It is a great support to have food and medical care for free. The greatest needs are groceries and a wardrobe. This is all for now. May God bless your daily activities!

Huge hugs,

Eva Cornelia Gonzalez Figueroa
