My Story

Dear Sponsor,

Good afternoon beloved sponsor! How are you? I hope from the bottom of my heart that you are doing very well. I am so happy to share with you about my family and me. Thank God we all are in good health. I want to clear up something about my father, Mr. Francisco Hernandez. He has not died as I told you in the past. He had another family but now is living with us. He works as a farmer and goes to the coast to look after coffee plantations. My mother is Marta.  She is a housewife and sometimes goes to work as a farmer with our neighbors. We sell different kinds of products, vegetables or fruits. I have fours sister. Amelia attends school and Vilma, Gloria and Wendy stay at home with my mother. We all attend the feeding program and it is a great blessing for us to receive our meals.

This year I was repeating third grade and my favorite subject was mathematics. Later I would like to look for a job as a maid and then be able to support my family economically. I like to listen to music with my friends or talk about the things that we live every day. One of my special moments is when the Town´s fair comes.  I like the mechanical games and we eat a traditional bread called “rosquitas” all together at home. We are not attending church because my mother does not want to, but I like to participate in the youth group in the feeding program.  I like the praises and I hope to attend church someday together with my family. Thank you very much for everything you have done for me. Take care of yourself and I hope to hear from you soon. May God bless you in everything you do!

Lots of hugs

Yohana Hernandez Garcia
