I greet you in the name of Jesus hoping you and yours are doing great! My name is Walder Manolo de Leon Luis. I am an 11-year-old boy. This year I am repeating 3rd grade at school, and I receive my classes in the mornings. I usually help my mother with the work at home. My mother does the housework, and she goes to sell chopped fruits in bags at school. Sometimes, she goes to sell in some activities of the town. Moreover, she raises hens, sheep and cows to sell and get more income. We cultivate corn and beans for our livelihood. Sadly, my father is not in my life because he abandoned us while my mother was pregnant with me.
I love the Christmas gift that I receive in the feeding program; it makes me so happy. I thank God for allowing me to receive food and medical care through Living Water. The food I love the most from the feeding program is hamburger patties. We are member of the Catholic Church; my mother welcomed Jesus into her heart. I want you to keep my mother and me in your prayers, so we stay well. Last, let me tell you that my mother gave this information to the LW team to update you about me. For now, that is all but I am hoping to hear from you very soon. Every kind of blessing over you!
Lots of love,
Walder Manolo de Leon Luis
