My Story

Hello! This is Agusto Raymundo Marcos Pedro, and I want you to know that I appreciate you taking the time to learn about my information. I am 10 years old, and fortunately, I am in good health. I am enrolled in second grade. My best friend’s name is Cristian. We both love playing soccer. I love my grandfather so much because he takes care of my family and me. I admire him so much. He is healthy and makes a living as a farmer. I kindly ask you to pray for my mom because she needs a stable job. She is in good health and does her best to bring a little food home by working as a domestic employee. She only goes to work when they ask her to do it. As you know, my biological father left our house many years ago. However, he started to help us with a little money. He makes a living as a farmer. My family and I are members of the Catholic church in our town. The things we enjoy the most from our religion are attending Mass and Holy Week. My mom has taught my siblings and me that Jesus is our Heavenly Father and an unconditional friend. To end this letter, I want you to know that I like attending the Christmas parties at the feeding program. My siblings and I enjoy the activities the staff organizes. See you later!

Warm hugs,

Agusto Raymundo Marcos Pedro
