My Story

Hello! I send you many greetings. I am living with my mother and my siblings. Thank God, we are in good health. This year, I was in 2^nd grade at school. I learned how to write and read. In the afternoon, I help with the chores at home. I tend the sheep. After school, I did my homework. When I grow up, I would like to find a job and help my family. Sadly, my father abandoned us because he has another family. He does not have communication with us and he does not support us economically. My mother does the household chores and she weaves typical blouses for selling.

My sister, Santa helps my mother to clean the house. I like to attend the feeding program because I receive delicious food and my favorite meal is the fried chicken. My family and I attend church, and I like to sing praises. When I grow up, I would like to be part of the praise group. I like when my family celebrates my birthday because they give me some gifts. I ask for your prayers for my family and for me. I hope to hear from you soon. May God bless you always!

Hugs and Kisses,

Ana Florinda Marleny Simaj Garcia
