My Story

Hello! This is Madely Eliana Riz Garcia, and I am writing this letter to tell you how I am. I am 12 years old, and I am well. Thankfully, I am doing a good job at school, and I am in 6th grade this year; I study in the mornings. I help with the household chores on weekends. I have been blessed with lunches at the feeding program, and there, my favorite dish is “hilachas” (it is a typical dish prepared with meat, tomato, potato and many spices). Christmas celebration is one of my favorite activities at the program because of the presents.

I live with my parents who are in good health. My father covers our needs working in a hardware store; he also works as a day laborer. My mother spends her time at home doing all the chores. We grow corn and black beans, and we raise domestic animals for selling. We stopped attending church, so LW Evangelism team has encouraged us to seek God again. I tell you that my oldest sister helped me to give this information to an Evangelism teacher, and she took advantage of the opportunity to ask for prayers for my family and my dad’s job. I end my letter wishing you the best.

Cordially yours

Madely Eliana Riz Garcia
