My Story

Hi! It is a pleasure to greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus and I hope you have a beautiful and blessed day. First of all, my family and I are grateful to Living Water because I receive medical and dental attention in the LW clinics. In addition, I have a meal and spiritual support at the Feeding Program. I want to let you know that we continue attending the Catholic Church twice a week. Thank you to the LW evangelism team for their encouraging words to my father during the visit, so he is sure of his salvation in Jesus. My mother´s name is Mayra Cux Hernandez. She is 38 years old. Nowadays, she continues weaving typical clothes to sell and get some income.  Moreover, she raises hens and turkeys at home.  My father`s name is Efrain Cux, and he is 42 years old. He earns a living by working as a farmer and day laborer in order to support us financially. Thankfully, my family and I are in good health.

My name is Santa Floridalma Jessenia Cux Cux and I am 12 years old. This year I am in 6^th grade at school. I receive face-to-face classes daily and am learning a lot with this study method. Fortunately, my parents are making an effort to support me at school despite the school fees being so expensive.  My dream is to continue studying in middle school. My native language is the Quiche Mayan dialect, so I would like to learn English because I think this is a very important language around the world.  Orange juice is what I prefer to drink.  My favorite celebration of the year is Christmas because I spend that day with my family. I do not celebrate my birthday due to a lack of financial resources. Among sports, I prefer soccer. We grow corn and black beans for our family`s consumption.  As a humble family, our needs are corn, groceries, and clothes. Thank you for the Christmas gift that I receive through Living Water Adopt-A-Child every December. I hope you like to read my letter. May God bless you and protect you everywhere you are!

Warm wishes,

Santa Floridalma Jessenia Cux Cux
