My Story

It is my pleasure to greet you affectionately through this hoping you are blessed! At the moment, we are not attending church, but we believe in God. This time LW staff encouraged us to continue seeking God, and we appreciate so much that they are worried about our spiritual life. My mother is Betzy Aleida Vasquez Ochoa, and she is 39 years old. She struggles to supply our home needs by working as a customer service advisor. My father is Cesar Ricardo Alvarez Interiano, and he is 35 years old. Sadly, he is an alcoholic person and does not live with us; he does not support us in anything. Thanks to God, I am healthy and so is my family.

This is Antony Adriel Alvarez Vasquez, and I am a 15-year-old boy. I am a sixth-grade student; receiving classes at school is better for me because I comprehend the lessons when my teacher explains to us. Since my mother is a single parent, it is difficult for her to cover all the expenses. When I grow up, I would like to be a veterinarian and take care of animals. Let me tell you, the language that catches my attention is English, so I want to learn it. My favorite drinks are sodas and natural blackberry juice because those are delicious. Playing football is so much fun; it is my favorite sport. To celebrate my birthday, my mother invites me to go out someplace and I have a cheerful day with my family. I enjoy the Christmas season because I light some firecrackers and small sparklers. Moreover, we eat different meals for those days. I take this opportunity to give endless thanks for the love and support I receive from you through Living Water; it is a great blessing for me and my family too. At the moment, we are in need of groceries and a bed; we trust in God's providence. I say goodbye to you for now, but I send huge hugs hoping to receive news from you very soon. Many blessings!

Kind regards,

Antony Adriel Alvarez Vasquez
