I greet you with so much love, hoping you enjoy my updated information. This is your sponsored child and friend, Yesica Estefany Marisol Garcia Jimon. I am 8 years old and I am in good health. I am repeating first grade this year. My mom takes my siblings and me to school in the morning. Let me tell you that my family and I have hens, pigs, and sheep at home. I enjoy shepherding sheep on weekends. I tell you that almost my whole family is doing well, although my oldest brother is not able to walk. Due to that, he uses a wheelchair. He used to receive therapy, but my parents were not able to continue paying for it. I beg you to pray for my father because he has a lump in his back which is causing him so much pain. Doctors told him that he must undergo exams to know how to treat his affection, but he does not have enough resources to do it. Despite his health condition, he works hard as a farmer to support our family economically. He also grows corn and beans for our consumption.  

To earn an extra income, he travels to the coast once a year. On the other hand, my mom dedicates her full time to taking care of our family. Fortunately, she is in good health as are my siblings. My mom also raises hens, pigs, and sheep at home. We are glad because we can harvest our own peaches. Let me tell you that we are members of the Catholic Church. When we started to attend mass, my parents welcomed Jesus into their hearts; that made me so happy. I want you to know that my family and I are grateful to you for blessing us through LW-Adopt A Child. My siblings and I enjoy having delicious meals at the feeding program. Our favorite food is fried chicken. We also enjoy celebrating Christmas there because there are engaging dynamics and I can receive a lovely Christmas gift. I say goodbye to you now, but I look forward to hearing from you soon.  

Kisses and hugs,  

Yesica Estefany Marisol Garcia Jimo
