My Story

Hello! Thank you for reading my little story and I hope you find this interesting. My name is Israel Jonathan Ich Xi. We belong to the Catholic Church and we are thankful to God because he blesses us through LW Adopt-A-Child in the Feeding Center by enjoying the delicious meals for lunch. My mother helped the LW team to collect this information. My father`s name is Abelino Ich Caal and he is the only one that supports us financially. He earns a living by working as a security guard and he tries to cover our family expenses, but sometimes it is difficult for him. My mother takes care of the family and does the chores at home. Currently, she is suffering from high blood pressure and she is taking medicines. Her name is Amalia Xi Cucul.

I want to tell you that I had a nice experience when I went to Coban village to visit my relatives in Coban town. We had a good trip because God protected us and I felt his presence in my life. My faithful friend is Jesus. My mother is always encouraging me to reach my goals and I admire her. Santiago is my best friend and we play soccer together. We met two years ago.  I am a healthy boy and I am 12 years old. Unfortunately, I am repeating the 4^th grade at school, but I am doing my best because I want to pass the grade. I will say goodbye to you now. I send you many blessings!

Sincerely yours,

Israel Jonathan Ich Xi
