My Story

Hi! I greet you in the name of Jesus and I wish you a successful day. My name is Julio Isaac Menendez Ramirez and I am 13 years old. We are attending The Saint Paul`s Church every Sunday.  This year I studied the 6^th grade at school and received face-to-face classes every day. I learned a lot from this study method. Nowadays, school fees are expensive, but my mother made an effort to support my brother and me with school expenses. Sometimes, it was difficult to cover every expense since she paid the monthly house rent. I speak Spanish, but I would like to learn the English language and the Cakchiquel Mayan Dialect. My dream is to become an accountant. My favorite celebration of the year is Christmas because I like to spend that day with my family. Coca-Cola is my favorite beverage. Among sports, I prefer soccer. What I like for my birthday is to eat a delicious cake along with my family when my mother has a little extra money. By the grace of God, my family and I are in good health.

My mother`s name is Aura Estela Ramirez. She is 43 years old. Currently, she continues earning a living by working as a secretary to support us with home expenses. She is the only one who provides for the family.  I want to let you know that my father passed away on May 11, 2023. He did not live with us. As a humble family, our current needs are groceries and beds. We are grateful to Living Water because we have been blessed with meals, medical and dental, and spiritual support. I want to say thank you for the Christmas gift that I received recently through LW. May God bless you and protect you!

Warm regards,

Julio Isaac Menendez Ramirez
