I greet you with much love hoping you are doing well together with your loved ones. I am Jose Alejandro, and I am happy to tell you about my life. I only live with my mother since my parents are separated. My father works as a taxi driver, but he only helps me a little financially since he spends a lot of money on medicine and medical attention; he suffers from diabetes. My mother still earns money by parking cars near a cevicheria. God is very important in our lives, but at the moment, we are not attending a church; we hope to do it someday. 

I am 12 years old, and I am in good health. I study in the morning, and I am in 5th grade this year. I like playing soccer, watching TV and resting on weekends. I love eating “hilachas” (it is a typical dish). I am blessed with vitamins, medical attention and grocery bags. I love The Christmas celebration at the feeding program because I hear Jesus’ history and have something delicious to eat. My mom and I gave this information to an Evangelism teacher, and I hope it reaches you in the right time. I end my letter asking for your prayers for my family and studies.  

With much love  

Jose Alejandro Lopez Juarez
