Hello, my name is Jeydi Amarilis, and it is a pleasure for me to tell you about my family and me through this letter. We live in a village called Trapichitos II, and our house is near an Evangelical Church. My parents are in good health, and they do their best to cover our needs. My dad works as a day laborer while my mom takes care of the family and our domestic animals; she was the one who helped me to send you this letter. We have corn and black beans crops, and we raise cows for selling. We believe in God, and we attend a Methodist Church.
Christmas is close, and LW Staff prepares a beautiful activity for us at the feeding program; I love it, especially the present from you. I am grateful for the lunch that I receive every week, and my favorite one is fried chicken. I live far away from the program but I feel blessed to be part of it. I am in good health, and I am 7 years old now. I am in 1st grade, and I receive classes in the mornings. I like playing with my siblings in the afternoons and on weekends. I would like to end my letter asking for your prayers for my family and our health. May God bless you!
With much love
Jeydi Amarilis Yomara Ajqui Quino
