My Story

Hello! Please receive warms regards from Dany Eliseo Ruiz De La Cruz. I am 15 years old now. I spend time working as a day laborer in order to help my mother with our expenses. I have the privilege to be part of the feeding program for about 10 years. I thing that I like best is praying before we eat. I am in good health. At home, I help to do some chores. I love the cold season.

Thankfully, my family is in good health. My mother supports our family; she works both as a farmer and as a day laborer. She goes to wash clothes for other people in order to earn extra money. My sister Marisela also contributes with our expenses working along with my mother. Unfortunately, my father has not stopped drinking. He works as a farmer and as a day laborer but he spends everything he earns on this vice. He travels to the coast to work during the coffee harvest from November to February. We are members of a Pentecostal Church called Prince of Peace. Please pray for our family and for God to continue blessing us. This is all that I can say. I hope you like my letter. You can be sure that I will be praying for you.

With all my love and a big, big hug,

Dany Eliseo Ruiz De La Cruz
