My Story

Hello! this is Juan Luis Anderson Barrera Chingo and I am sending all the best from the bottom of my heart. As you know, I live under my maternal grandmother`s care and her name is Margarita de la Cruz. She continues selling home-made snacks at school, and she raises hens so she can sell them when she has a financial need. My mother`s name is Vilma and my father`s name is Luis Felipe. They are in good health. They continue living and working in the United States, but they are separated. Nowadays, my mother works selling food and my father is a mason`s helper. My mother calls me every two days and my father every fifteen days, but they sustain me financially by sending money every two weeks to cover our family expenses. I identify with my grandmother because she is always present in my life. We spend a lot of together.

Jesus is my friend, but we are not attending any church. LW team shared the gospel with my grandmother and they encouraged her to seek one. She helped to collect this information during the visit. My best friend`s name is Cesar and we like to play tag when we are together. I am in 3^rd grade and I am a nine-year-old boy. I like to celebrate my birthday along with my relatives and I am thankful to God because he provides the financial resources to celebrate. Thank you for taking the time to read my little story. I send a bunch of hugs!

Have a wonderful day!
