My Story

This is Kimberly Alejandra, and I am so excited to greet you through this letter. I hope you find this engaging. My family and I are Catholics and attend masses twice a week. The Lord has been merciful all time; proof of that, we receive material and spiritual support from LW. Besides, a teacher of the evangelism team encouraged us to continue trusting in the Almighty while she collected this information for you. My mother, Lilian Ruiz, works hard at home by doing the chores and raising hens and pigs to get extra income. My father, Victor Quino, makes a living as a day laborer for other people and grows corn for our consumption. Fortunately, my parents are doing well. I am nine years old. I attend school as a third grader, and classes are face-to-face. I like to receive better explanations to understand my lessons.

We have many necessities at home, but our priorities are food supplies. Fortunately, my parents have not had trouble covering my school necessities. We are grateful to God because I receive school supplies at school. I look forward to becoming a lawyer when I am older, so I would like to count on your prayers to accomplish my dream. My favorite celebrations throughout the year are Christmas and Holy Week. I like them because families gather to enjoy and have fun. Blackberries are delicious, although I prefer them in juice. My favorite sport is soccer, and I would like to learn how to speak English. My birthday was in July. What I enjoy the most is having a tasty dinner to celebrate with my family. My health is in good condition. Thank you so much for reading my news! I say goodbye for now, but I send you many blessings.

Sincerely yours,

Kimberly Alejandra Quino Ruiz
