I am glad to write you in the name of Jesus and I want to share with you a little bit more about my family and myself. My name is Hugo Abiel Calixto Palacios Roman. My family and I continue attending the Hebron Mount Christian Church and I like to participate in the family group. Jesus is my savior; healer and he always keeps us. My mother helped the LW team to collect this information. She is Jaqueline Sulema Roman Silvestre and she is a hardworking woman. Nowadays, she is selling different hair accessories and she supports us financially. My stepfather Selvin Gomez Flores continues earning a living by welding doors and windows and he supports us financially. I call him “father” because he has lived with the family since I was younger. He is present in my life all the time and I remember that I was 4 years old when he came to live with us. He always does his best for the family and he works hard. Thankfully, my mother and stepfather are in good health. I admire my father because he is a hardworking man, and when I grow up, I want to be like him. My best friend is Eyder and we play and talk together. We met 6 years ago. I am in 8th grade at school this year and I am happy because I am advancing in my education. I finished primary school two years ago and God has helped me every time to reach my goals. I am a healthy fifteen year old teenager. Thank you for your attention. I send you my best wishes!
Huge hugs,
Hugo Abiel Calixto Palacios Roman
