My Story

Hello, it is my pleasure to greet you in this opportunity hoping our Lord is blessing you! I am Erik Daniel de la Cruz de la Cruz. I am an 8-year-old boy. This year I am repeating 1^st grade, and my classes are in the morning. I help at home with some work, and then, I enjoy playing with my siblings. The food I love the most is stewed chicken. My mom is a housewife, and she also raises hens and pigs to sell and get income. My dad does farm work and he also works as a plumber. Furthermore, he goes to pick coffee beans on the coast during the harvest season. We cultivate corn and black beans for our livelihood. Thankfully, we all are doing well.

I love to participate in the Christmas activity that Living Water prepares in the feeding program, especially because I get a gift. My family and I are very thankful to God for all the blessings I receive through the program; the food and medical care are so helpful to me. We are members of the Catholic Church; my parents accepted Jesus into their hearts some time ago. Let me tell you that my older sister provided this information to the LW staff to share news about me. I send much love and I hope to hear news from you very soon. Many and abundant blessings over you!

Lots of love,

Erik Daniel de la Cruz de la Cruz
