My Story

Hello! My name is Jessica Petronila Angelica Ajqui Ajqui, and I am glad to share my updated information with you. Fortunately, I am a healthy 11-year-old girl. I am in fourth grade and attend school on the morning shift. Let me tell you that I like spending time with my grandmother at her house. Therefore, I have lived with her for a few years. Today, she is the one who covers my needs and expenses. Her name is Petronila Garcia and she is 65 years old. He sells black beans and herbs at the market. I ask you to pray for her because she suffers from so much pain in her knees. At the moment, she has not gone to the doctor or taken medicine either. My grandmother and I raise hens for sale. We also grow corn for our consumption.

We live close my parents and siblings. My mom works hard to support my siblings, but she has not been well. She has suffered from gastritis and an irritated colon for more than one year. She went to the local health center and got medicine. However, she has not improved because she needs to buy more medicine to finish her treatment, but sadly she does not have enough resources. As for my father, let me tell you that he lives with my mom and siblings. Nevertheless, he has problems with alcohol and due to that, he does not help them economically. So, I ask you to pray for him too. My grandmother and I are grateful to LW-Adopt A Child for the spiritual support the staff has given us. Actually, a teacher of the evangelism team encouraged us to welcome Jesus into our hearts and share the gospel. Besides that, my siblings and I have been blessed with food and a Christmas gift annually at the feeding program. The food that I enjoy the most is fried chicken. I say goodbye to you now, but I thank you so much for reading my information. May God bless you!

Sincerely yours,

Jessica Petronila Angelica Ajqui Ajqui
