My Story

I greet you in the name of Jesus hoping you are fine with your lovely family! Praise the Lord my family and I attend Family of God Church; we go on Tuesdays and Sundays. My family and I are in good health, thanks to the Lord. My mother is Clementina del Carmen Gonzalez, and she is 38 years old. She helps with the income by working as a cook. My father is Henry William Samayoa, and he is 43 years old. He works as a messenger and supports the family. My pet is a dog.

My name is Sherlyn Alessandra Samayoa Gonzalez, and I am a 12-year-old girl. I was repeating 4^th grade this year; fortunately, my classes were at school, and my learning improved a lot. Thank God, my parents have had their jobs and could buy what I needed at school this year. My dream is to be a veterinarian. I need to study hard to accomplish my dream. The English language catches my attention, and I would like to learn how to speak it. The climate I prefer is summer because I love sunny days and enjoy playing in the water with my cousins. I like sodas, especially Coca-Cola which is my favorite one. The sport I like the most is football. What I like to do on my birthday is to share a cake with my family; they make me feel so special. I am so grateful to Living Water and everyone who contributes so I can receive the food, and medical care in the clinics; my family and I pray for our Lord to bless you greatly. At home, our top priorities are groceries and a bed. Take care! I hope to receive news from you soon. Many blessings!

Bunch of hugs,

Sherlyn Alessandra Samayoa Gonzalez
