My Story

Hello! This is Tomasa Grave Mejia, and I lovingly greet you from the land of eternal spring. How are you doing? By the grace of the Lord, I am a healthy girl. I am 10 years old and have made some friends at school. I am in third grade. My best friend’s name is Maria. We have a lot of fun playing with dolls. Now, I want to tell you a little about my family. My mother keeps busy doing the chores and raising chickens. She sells them to help with the expenses at home. I love her caring attitude. My father traveled to the United States some years ago. When my father decided to travel, my siblings and I felt down. However, God has comforted our hearts and shown us His fidelity. As proof, my whole family is doing well.

I am happy because my father is in touch with us three times a week. He makes a living by working in the cleaning area of a restaurant and helps us economically. Please pray for him so that the Lord takes care of him. I attend the Catholic Church alongside my mom and siblings. We enjoy attending Mass because we can learn more about Jesus, our Heavenly Father. Besides that, we can join our siblings in Christ to thank God for their harvest. Thank you so much for reading my information! My mom was glad to help me write this letter. See you later!

With much love,

Tomasa Grave Mejia
