My Story

Hello! My name is Seidy Melisa and I am excited to greet you through this letter. I hope you are having a fantastic day. My family and I attend the Catholic Church every Sunday. Before sharing more about my life with you, I want to use this opportunity to express my gratitude to LW. It is a meaningful project because my family and I receive worthy support. For instance, a teacher of the evangelism team shared the gospel with me while he was collecting all this information. As you know, my father separated from my mother many years ago. He does not support our needs or keep in touch with my sister and me. The one who is in charge of us is my mother. Her name is Diana Ordonez and she is 31 years old. She works on San Sebastian Farm by picking macadamia. While she works, my grandparents take care of us. I love them a lot because they have been like my second parents.

By God’s grace, we are all healthy. We have two lovely cats as pets. I am so happy because this year, I am attending school again. I am in fifth grade. I prefer to receive face-to-face classes because that is the best school method to learn. Although my mother does her best for my sister and me, she sometimes cannot buy all the school supplies. Our greatest needs are groceries. I would love to become a nurse and speak English when I am older. The rainy season is my favorite because I love rain. My favorite drink is Coca-Cola and I love soccer. I turned thirteen years old in August. What I love the most is having a delicious lunch to celebrate a new year of life with my family. I say goodbye to you for now, but if you want to know something else about my life, feel free to ask me. See you later!

Kind regards,

Seidy Melisa Catu Ordonez
