My Story

Hello! It is a great blessing for me to be part of the feeding program from Living Water. My name is Ethan Jared Barahona Soto. I am an 11-year-old boy. This year I attend 3^rd grade. My cousins are Jonathan, Moises and Eddy; they take care of me. Sometimes, we go out to the field and enjoy playing there. Once I went to the zoo; I had a wonderful time seeing the animals. I thank God for that opportunity and for taking care of me. I recognize God loves me and is thinking of me all the time.

My brother Maximiliano and I are still under the care of Arelis and Wendy Soto; they are our aunts. They have legal custody of us. The legal process continues, and my mom will probably get our custody in the future. My aunt Arelis works doing cleaning and my aunt Wendy works packing products in different places. They contribute to our expenses. My mom still works as a pollster and has to provide us with food as a judge's requirement. My mom should not live with us, but my grandpa allowed her to stay with us so that she does not pay for rent, so that she can use the money for our expenses. However, it is a risk if the judge were to know that she lives with us. We do not attend any church. I would like you to know that my aunt, Arelis, shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. Thank you for taking the time to read about me today. Every kind of blessing for you!

Lots of love,

Ethan Jared Barahona Soto
