Hello dearest sponsor!  I feel so happy to write this letter to you hoping that you are enjoying the blessings of God in your life.  I live with my mother and brother in my maternal grandmother’s house.  My mother sells hamburgers and smoothies at our home in order to provide for us.  I do not know anything about my father.  My mother is in bad health.  She has diabetes.  My uncle and grandmother have it also.  The doctor said that it is hereditary, but I say that this illness has to bow down to the name of God.  I go to the clinic at the feeding program when I am sick.  At home, I help my mother with chores.  I also help cook and I take my brother to school. 

I was doing well in my studies and my favorite subject was social studies.  We do not go out places or have family get togethers because of a lack of money.  My brother and I go to the park to have fun for a little bit.  My dream is to be a hair stylist because I like to cut and style hair.  I like to play ball in my free time.  When I come to the feeding program, I learn that God is good and that He wants me to seek Him.  I say goodbye to you with much love. God bless you.

Blessings and much love,

Genesis Sarai Mejia Ordonez
