My Story

Hello! How are you? My name is Rodrigo Emiliano, and I want to share with you a little about my life. I continue under the care of my mommy Rome (great-grandmother), and she does her best to cover our needs. She is selling plastic dishes and snacks to earn some money. It has been difficult for her to cover all our needs, but we have trusted in God. She is 70 years old, and I would like to ask for your prayers for her because she suffers from asthma and arthritis; she is under medical control at a public hospital. My grandmother, Flora, is only helping us with some food because she has to cover all the needs of one of her daughters. Please pray for her too because she is having bone pain, and she has not visited a doctor.

I am in 3^rd grade this year, and I am in good health. I prefer the summer season because you can swim. I have been part of the feeding program for 5 years, and I like the Bible classes because I learn about Jesus. In my free time, I help with some household chores like picking up the shoes. My mommy Rome wants to thank you for all you have done for me. May God bless you! She feels happy and free to send me to the program because it is a great blessing and support.

As a family, we are attending the Catholic Church, and I like to attend it because all the brethren are respectful. I know that God can let me enter His kingdom because He has already forgiven me and loves me a lot. I would like to ask for your prayers for my great-grandfather’s health and the whole family. This is all for now.

Sincerely yours

Rodrigo Emiliano Alvarado Calderon
