My Story

I greet you in Jesus’ name hoping you are doing well. I am writing this letter to tell you a little about me. I live with my grandmother, Maria Cristina, but I am under the responsibility of my aunt Maria del Carmen since my mother left to go to the United States to give me a better life. She is working as a maid there, and thankfully, she is in good health. It really affected me when she traveled to that country, and only God helped me to overcome this situation; I could feel His love and presence in my life. I admire my mother because she is a strong and hard-working woman; I identify a lot with her. My aunt works as a maid and helps me financially too.

I continue studying, and I am in 6^th grade this year. I am in good health, and I am 13 years old. I have a friend named Cristopher, and I met him 6 years ago. Jesus is my heavenly father and my everything. My family and I attend the Catholic Church, and we love Holy Week because of the processions and colorful carpets. We are happy to serve God. I tell you that my aunt helped me to give my information to the feeding program’s Evangelism team. I hope you find it interesting and to hear from you soon.

My best wishes

Angel Emanuel Medio Gonzalez
