My Story

I will start by giving you the thanks for taking the time to read my update. I walk for five minutes to arrive to the feeding program. I am Santa. I am 10 years old and my birthday was in June. I am not attending school yet because I am a little afraid to go. In my free time, I feed our pig.

The people who live in the house are my mother, siblings and me. Unfortunately, my father separated from my mother many years ago and he does not help us economically. My mother is a housewife. We are members of the Prince of Peace Church. My brothers Jesus and Leonel support us economically. They are farmers and they go to pick coffee beans at the coast. I am grateful to God because we are in good health except my mother because she has cataract in her left eye but she has not visited the doctor for lack of money. She went to the doctor when the LW medical campaign where here and they suggested that she has to go to a specialist to have a surgery. In spite of the hard health situation that we are currently facing in our country, our Lord has been taking care of us. We trust in our Lord's mercy and that He will put His healing hands over all people who are suffering during this pandemic. I would like to receive a letter from you and have the opportunity to share our life experiences with each other.

Thinking of you!
