My Story

It is a blessing for me to tell you a little more about my family and me. I hope you are doing fine when my letter reaches you. My name is Maria Fernanda Aju Yos, and I am enrolled at school again. I am in 7^th grade, and I continue working by carrying my neighbor`s daughter to her school in order to earn some money to support my family because we are needy people. My grandparents are older and due to their older ages, my grandfather only works a little as a tailor. Unfortunately, he suffers from diabetes but he is under medical treatment in the public center health. My grandmother is not working anymore. Nowadays, my siblings also do some errands for others and earn money to contribute to home expenses. My grandfather`s name is Rene and my grandmother is Mrs. Rosario. Our financial situation has been so difficult, but my grandparents are grateful with God for everything. Unfortunately, we are not attending any church. LW team shared the gospel with my aunt Raquel Sandoval during the visit and she also helped to collect this information. I am a 14 year old teenager and I am doing well. My saddest experience has been when my parents abandoned me. Sometimes, I have felt alone, but God has filled my heart with his love and peace. For me, Jesus is my father, my love, my faithful friend and my savior. I admire my grandmother because she always supports, advises and loves me as if she were my biological mother. Well, I will say bye for now. Thank you for your attention!

Strong hugs,

Maria Fernanda Aju Yos
