My Story

This is Hila Olam Bom, and in these few lines, I want to tell you a little about my family and me. I would like to start asking for your prayers for my father because he is suffering from arm and spinal pain. He is under a medical treatment and receives his check-ups at Guatemalan Social Security Institute. I tell you that my mom works as a nurse for that institution, and thankfully, she is in good health. My father uses a wheelchair, but he continues working to support the family; he works as a P.E. teacher. At the moment, we are not attending a church, but we know that we can enter God’s Kingdom thanks to our good deeds. We hope to attend LW Church someday.

My mom helped me with this letter, and she wanted to take the opportunity to express her gratitude to LW Ministry and good-hearted people like you that make great blessings possible for needy children like me; the medicine, vitamins, dental care and lunches are a great support for my whole family. For all of the above, my mom got excited to register us in the program. We pray God multiplies back to all of you for that. I am a student, and I am in 5th grade this year. I am in good health, and I love winter time because the weather is cooler. In my free time, I help my mom to make the beds and sweep. I am 11 years old, and I started to attend the feeding program when I was about 3 years old. Well, this is all for now. May God bless you!

Yours truly
