Special regards! I fondly write this letter to share with you a little bit about my life. This is Keyla Mishel Gomez Lopez and I am a healthy 14-year-old teenager. I have attended the feeding program for about five years because my mother wanted me to enjoy the benefits that she had when she was a child. What she liked the most were the Bible lessons and food. I want to tell you that I am in eighth grade at school and I contribute to the household chores like washing the dishes and sweeping. I like the cold weather because it is refreshing. About my parents, I am pleased to tell you that they are in good health. My mother works as a firefighter and my father dedicates himself to working as a mason. He does not live with us because he separated from my mother about three years ago. They do their best to support my brother and me.
We live with our grandparents and other relatives, but each family covers their own expenses. We do not attend any church, but I hope we can do it someday. Please pray for my whole family so that God keeps us healthy as we have been doing. I say goodbye for now, but if you want to know something else from me, please feel free to ask me. Until next time!
With much love,
Keyla Mishel Gomez Lopez
