My Story

Special regards from Duenas town! My full name is Erick Gustavo Hernandez Reyes and before starting, I thank you so much for taking the time to read my information. I am 12 years old and I am in fifth grade. I help my mother with the household chores. Although I wear glasses since I have vision problems, I am doing well. I like both cold and hot weather. My family and I do not attend any church at the moment, but I hope we can do it soon. I appreciate that sister Princesa (a member of the LW staff) recently shared the gospel with my father and encouraged her to look for God. She also told him that taking care of our salvation, being obedient, and having a solid relationship with God are important aspects that help us to be assured of being admitted into heaven.

I have attended the feeding program for about four years. My parents are grateful for all the help that many children and I have received such as medical and dental care since they have been a great blessing. May God reward LW-Adopt A Child richly for their social work! I want you to know that my whole family is doing well. My father makes a living as a mason, while my mother dedicates her full time to taking care of me. We live with my grandparents and everybody contributes to cover the electricity and running water expenses. It is time to say goodbye, but I hope to hear from you soon.

Huge hugs,

Erick Gustavo Hernandez Reyes
