My Story

Hello, it is a pleasure for me to be able to greet you and express my gratitude for all the support you have given me. I am your sponsored child Gerson Jose Gomez Gomez, and I turned 13 years old this year on February 11th. For this special day I like to share a cake with my family. I recently finished my school year, and I attended 7th grade. I think that teaching is better when I receive face-to-face classes. I ask for your prayers for God to bless my parent´s jobs so that they have enough money to continue paying for my school next year. My dream is to become an Engineer.  I also would like to learn English to have better employment opportunities; however, a course is so expensive. Christmas is close, and it is the best time of the year for me because I can spend time with my loved ones. I like to play soccer, and my favorite drinks are Coca-Cola and lemonade. Thank God I am in good health. I do not have any pets at home.

Let me tell you a little about my family. My father is Edwin Alberto Gomez Yapan, and he is 39 years old. He does not have a stable job, so at the moment, he works selling firewood in our town. My mother’s name is Sandra Patricia Gomez Gomez, and she is 40 years old. She struggles to help with our income by picking coffee during the harvest; the rest of the year she stays at home taking care of us and preparing delicious meals for the family. I want to let you know that we are not attending a church. Thank you to the LW evangelism team who shared the gospel with us and encouraged us to seek God. At home, there is a lot of need, but what we need most right now are groceries and clothing. I thank LW for the support I have, and I am happy because I have always been well received in the Feeding Program. May God continue blessing you greatly.

With much love,

Gerson Jose Gomez Gomez
