My Story

Hello, everybody! I am Fatima Alejandra Galicia Reyes and I fondly greet you from the beautiful Duenas town. I hope this letter finds you doing well. I am 14 years old and I am doing my best at school as an eighth-grade student. Thankfully, I am a healthy teenager. I like both cold and hot weather and after school, I usually help my mother to cook and do the cleaning of our house. My mother keeps busy doing the household chores, and she helped me to compose this letter for you. While she takes care of my siblings, my father works hard as a farmer to bring food home. Thankfully, my whole family is in good health and that is really valuable nowadays.

We do not attend any church at the moment, but I hope we can do it soon. Brother Emanuel (a member of the LW staff) shared the gospel with my mother and me as an encouragement to look for God and attend a nearby church. My mother is grateful to LW-Adopt A Child for being on the lookout for our spiritual life. She enrolled me there about two years and since then, this organization has blessed me with delicious food and medical care. May God continue blessing the work they do to benefit many children in need. To end this short letter, I kindly ask you to pray for my whole family and me. In advance, thank you so much! 

Sincerely yours,

Fatima Alejandra Galicia Reyes
