My Story

I hope you are having a wonderful day alongside your lovely family! Praise the Lord my family and I attend a Christian Church; we go twice every week. We trust our salvation in our Lord. Thankfully, I am healthy and so is my family. My mother is Juana Simaj Toj, and she is 37 years old. She usually does the housework at home, and she also raises hens to eat at home. My father is Samuel Garcia de la Cruz, and he is 46 years old. He is employed as a day laborer in our village to supply our needs. At home, we harvest lemon, corn and black beans for the family's consumption.

I am Jennyfer Jessenia Garcia Simaj, and I am 11 years old. I attended fifth grade this year; my classes were at school, and I learned more things. Nowadays, school supplies are very expensive, and it is hard for my parents to cover them because of a lack of resources. I want to continue with my studies and become a teacher someday. English is a very interesting language, so I would like to learn it. I like sodas, especially Coca-Cola which is my favorite one. I enjoy playing football, which is the sport I like the most. Let me tell you that my family and I eat bread with honey during Holy Week, and I like this custom of my village. I get so happy when my birthday comes, and my family gets together to celebrate with me. I take this opportunity to give thanks for all the support I receive through Living Water; I am so blessed to receive my meals and medicines for free. At home, the primary needs for us are groceries, clothes and footwear. I send huge hugs and I hope to receive news from you very soon. Many and rich blessings!

Lots of love,

Jennyfer Jessenia Garcia Simaj
