My Story

This is Anthony Alexander Merida Lopez, and I am writing this to update my 2023 information. First, I will tell you about my family. We are members of Holocaust for the King Church, and we attend the service on Sunday. We have two turtles as pets. We are a humble family, and our greatest needs are groceries, clothes and shoes. My father’s name is Walter. He is 43 years old, and he is in good health. Unfortunately, he is in jail. My mother’s name is Seidy. She is 37 years old, and I want to ask you to pray for her because she suffers from diabetes and is taking medicine to control it. She sells second-hand clothes in a market to cover our needs.

Now let me tell you a little about myself. I am 11 years old, and I am healthy. I am in 5th grade, and I am happy to receive face-to-face classes because it is easier to understand the lessons. It has been difficult for my mother to cover my school expenses; she has to work very hard. I want to become an industrial mechanic when I am older. My favorite celebration is Mother’s Day, and I make souvenirs for my mom. I enjoy going out to eat when it is my birthday. I prefer soccer as a sport, and I love drinking lemonade and hibiscus juice. I would like to learn English language in the future. Living Water is very important in my life, and I am grateful for the delicious food received. I hope to hear from you soon.

All the best
