Hello, I am Hugo Leonardo de la Cruz Gutierrez. I feel happy to tell a little bit about me. It is a blessing to be part of Living Water. I appreciate your interest in me. Well, I will begin by telling you that I was born on June 23, 2020. I am 4 years old, so my father helped me to give all this information to the LW team. I am too young to attend school. I stay at home and enjoy playing soccer. I like brown, and my favorite animal is the horse. I like eating chow mein. My health is good thanks to God. I have two brothers and one sister. My father takes me to the feeding program, and it takes us 10 minutes by car to arrive there. Two of my siblings are also enrolled in the program.

About my family, my father is Luis de la Cruz Morente. He is in good health. He struggles to support us by farming the land. My mother is Maria Gutierrez Riz. She is a housewife and takes care of us. However, she is a little sick. She suffers from her gallbladder. She should have an operation but due to our low resources, my father has not taken her to the doctor. For that reason, this time, I would like to ask for your prayers for her. We attend the Catholic Church. One of our greatest needs, besides my mom’s health, is to be able to fix our house and we continue to pray for that.

Thank God, my father owns the house where we live. It has four rooms including the separated kitchen. It is made of adobe, tin sheet roof and cement floor. We have a well to get our water. We have electricity that my father pays every month. As for domestic animals, we raise chickens. Well, this is time to say goodbye. I look forward to writing you again soon. I love you and send you many kisses and hugs.

Lots of hugs,

Hugo Leonardo de la Cruz Gutierrez
