My Story

It is a wonderful day to send my greetings hoping you are doing great alongside your loving family! This is Magdalena Mendez Garcia. I am 7 years old. I am in 1^st grade of primary school; my classes are on the morning shift. I spend my weekends by helping my parents with the crops. My father works hard as a farmer to sustain our family´s needs. On the other hand, my mother does the housework, raises hens and turkeys and goes to sell herbs in the market. We cultivate corn and beans for our livelihood.

I like to participate in the Christmas celebration that Living Water organizes at the end of the year; I get so excited to receive a Christmas gift. I am so blessed to receive food and medicines in the program; the meal I love the most is fried chicken. We are a humble family and we are very thankful to God for allowing us to be healthy. This time I want to ask for your prayers for the well-being and provision of my family. My family and I are members of the Jesus the Good Road Christian Church. Let me tell you that my mother gave this information to the LW team to update you about me. Sending much love. May our Lord bless you wherever you go!

Lots of love,

Magdalena Mendez Garcia
