My Story

I hope you are in good health together with your loved ones. My name is Sonia Leticia Pu Simaj and I am fourteen years old. I did not continue with my studies. I only attended sixth grade last year. Now, I am helping with the chores at home and I look after our domestic animals. My father does not live with us because he has another family. He works in construction and sometimes, he helps us with the expenses. We do not have much communication with him. My mother does the household chores. My brothers work as farmers and they contribute with the home expenses. My family was affected in the economy because there was not much work. Thank God, we have been able to go ahead with the little that my brothers are earning.

Thank God, we have received groceries from the school and from the feeding program. We were so blessed with the groceries bags that we received from LW because it arrived in the most difficult times. God has been faithful with us because he has not left us alone and he has given us health. We thank Living Water for helping us. Fortunately, we have not gotten sick from the Covid-19 virus. We are well except for my mother because she suffers from high blood pressure. She already went to the doctor but she could not buy her medicine. We attend Full Gospel Church every Monday and Friday. I want to tell you that one of the AAC-team called my family and my sister was the one who gave this information about me with my mother´s help; it was by phone due to the pandemic. I hope you continue receiving many blessings from our Lord.

Lots of hugs,

Sonia Leticia Pu Simaj
