My Story

Hello, I greet you in the name of Jesus hoping you are doing great! This is Calliegh Haydee Oroxon Velasquez. I am 17 years old. This year I am in the second year of my training in Communication Sciences; my classes are in the morning shift. I enjoy watching TV and I take the advantage of weekends to do it. My favorite meals are Chinese rice, mashed potatoes and sausages. My mother works as an auxiliary nurse and she is the one who supports our family. It has been so hard for her because she has to do extra time in her job since I am in high school. My grandfather used to help my mother with some money but now he no longer does it because he is suffering from neuropathy because of diabetes which is affecting his feet. He is still living with us. My father is not in my life because he abandoned us, and we do not know about him. He used to help my little brother with some money, but he no longer does now.

I am so blessed to be part of the feeding program because I have received God´s word and food parcels which are so useful for me and my family. In the future, I would like to join the LW team and bless needy children like they are doing with me. My family and I attend New Hope Christian Church; we have welcomed Jesus into our hearts. We appreciate that LW team encouraged us to continue seeking God. I want you to pray for my family; especially for my mother so that she can have her job and continue supporting the family expenses. Let me tell you I gave this information to the evangelism team to share with you. May God bless you abundantly!

Kind regards,

Calliegh Haydee Oroxon Velasquez
