My Story

Hello! My full name is Ingrid Florencia Lopez Cahuec and I am so happy to share my information with you. I am 15 years old and I am in sixth grade at Carlos Wild Ospina School, in the afternoon shift. I have attended the feeding program for about two years and my mother is grateful for all the support that I have received, since it has been a great blessing. We pray that God blesses all the LW staff and all those who support them financially. About my health, I tell you that I suffer from vision problems. Therefore, I have worn glasses for about six years, which has helped me a lot. To contribute to the household chores, I usually clean my house and wash my own clothes. I prefer cold weather rather than hot and I attend church alongside my mother. We are glad to attend Sun of Justice Church because we have learned how to be closer to God and be grateful for all the good things that He provides us.

My mother thinks that if we want to be assured about our salvation in Jesus, we must strive hard day by day looking for him, listening to his voice, being good people, helping others in need and preaching about him. Sister Princesa (a member of the LW staff) agreed with her recently. She talked with my mother and shared with her that she has assurance of being admitted into Heaven because of God’s love and mercy. She also advised my mother to continue being obedient to his voice. As you know, my mother is a single parent and does all her best to support me. She works as a domestic employee once a week. Please pray for her health since she suffers from muscle pain. She does not take any medicine at the moment. My older sisters Katerin and Rosa already work and help us a little with the household expenses. Katerin makes and sells homemade food, while Rosa works as a domestic employee. Could you please pray for Rosa, too? She has problems in her both ears, which makes her life a little difficult. It is time to say goodbye, but I appreciate that you took the time to read my letter. Have a wonderful day!

Sincerely yours,

Ingrid Florencia Lopez Cahuec
