My Story

This is a blessed day to greet you and tell you about myself through this. My name is Isabela Kimberlyn Erlinda Gutierrez Calachij and I want to tell you that I am so happy because I passed the grade at school last year. I am glad because I am able to continue with my studies. It is satisfying to me. I am in 2^nd grade at school this year. My best friend is Alexia and we like to play with dolls when we are together. I am a healthy girl and I am 8 years old. I am thankful to God because my family and I are doing fine and in good health.

My parents are doing their best for our well-being. My father`s name is Vitalino and he is living and working in the United States. He washes plates in a restaurant and he sustains my family financially. He calls us and sends money to cover our financial needs every fifteen days while my mother Ana continues weaving typical blouses, and she sells them to get some income. I have a good emotional connection with my mother and I have my trust in her. She was encouraged by LW team during the visit to continue seeking God because we are members of a Charismatic Group that belongs to Catholic Church. We like to attend the thanksgiving service that we celebrate yearly for our crops. Jesus is my friend because he loves me so much. Thank you for your attention. Have a nice day!

Huge hugs,

Isabela Kimberlyn Erlinda Gutierrez Calachij
