My Story

Hello! I greet you from the bottom of my heart and I hope you and your family are doing fine. I want to share some news about my family and me. My name is Gesler Javier Toledo and I am 16 years old. Thank God, we are attending the “Sheep Following God`s Steps Church” every Wednesday and Sunday. Unfortunately, this year I am repeating the 7th grade at school. I am receiving face-to-face classes every night. I love this study method in this schedule because I understand a lot about the topics and I hope to pass my grade with God`s help. My mother strives to support my siblings and me at school. Nowadays, school fees are expensive and sometimes it is difficult to cover all expenses due to my mother not having a stable job. When I am older, I want to become a lawyer. Christmas is my favorite celebration of the year because I like to spend that day with my friends. I enjoy drinking soft drinks like Coca-Cola. I want to let you know that for my birthday my mother prepares delicious food for dinner and she buys me a delicious cake.  Among sports, I prefer soccer. Thank God my family and I are in good health.

My mother`s name is Maritza Toledo. She is 37 years old. At the moment, she continues cleaning houses for others in order to support us with home expenses due to the absence of my father.  As you know, he passed away. So, she is the only one that supports us financially. As a humble family, our current needs are groceries, school fees, and beds. We are grateful to Living Water because we have been blessed for instance with the meals, medical and dental, and spiritual support. I want to say thank you for the Christmas gifts that I receive at the end of the year. May God bless you greatly!

Kisses and hugs,

Gesler Javier Toledo
