My Story

It is my pleasure to greet you on this opportunity and I hope you are doing great! Praise the Lord my family and I attend Pentecostal Prince of Peace Church, and we go on Fridays and Sundays. We have already accepted Jesus in our hearts, but we appreciate so much the encouraging words that LW staff gave us this time. My family and I are in good health, thanks to the Lord. I live with both of my adoptive parents. My father is Joel Garcia de la Cruz, and he is 43 years old. He makes a living as a merchant to support the family. My mother is Maria Pastor de la Cruz, and she is 43 years old. She is a housewife but tries to contribute to the income by selling slices of fruits in bags outside of school. Moreover, she raises hens and pigs to sell or eat them at home. My father grows corn for our consumption.

I am Glendy Macarena Garcia Mechen, and I am a 12-year-old girl. I am a third-grade student; I receive face-to-face classes which helps my learning. I love my parents because they are striving and giving me the opportunity to attend school. The teaching profession catches my attention, and I would like to study to become one in the future. The language I would like to learn is English; it is so interesting. I love drinking apple juice which is my favorite. Cycling is the sport I like the most because of the speed it gets to in a few seconds. My parents celebrate my birthday with a delicious cake; they love me so much. I like Christmas time because of the firecrackers; I light some of them and I have a lot of fun. Being part of the feeding program is a great blessing in my life because I receive support with my meals and medical attention in the clinics. At home, the main needs for us are corn and groceries. Well, this is all for now and I hope to receive news from you soon. Every blessing for you!

Best wishes,

Glendy Macarena Garcia Mechen
