My Story

Hello! How are you doing? My full name is Sheyli Salina Canil Ajqui, and I am pleased to share a little about my life with you. I hope you find this letter engaging. I am a healthy 14-year-old girl, and I keep busy helping my mother with the household chores. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with leukemia a while ago. This has been a challenging situation because we do not have enough resources to afford her medicine. However, I trust Jesus will heal my mother because He is our savior. I tell you that she also has gastritis, but she is already taking some medicine to relieve her issues.

I admire my mother so much because she is brave and nurturing. While I stay home with her, my father works as a day laborer and farmer in our country. He came back from the United States a few months ago. We attend a nearby Christian Church. There are engaging activities there, but we enjoy taking part in the birthday celebrations. It is time to say goodbye, but I kindly ask you to pray for my family, especially for my mother. May God bless you!

With love and gratitude,

Sheyli Salina Canil Ajqui
