My Story

Hello! How are you doing? My full name is Heimy Suleidy de la Cruz Benito, and I am excited to share my update with you. Before starting, I want you to know that my mother and a staff member of LW helped me with it. I am 7 years old, and I am pleased to share that I am in first grade. I am doing my best at school. I live with my parents and siblings. Some of them are enrolled in the feeding program. My parents taught me to love Jesus because He is my friend and Savior.

Thanks to his loving care, my whole family and I are healthy. My father works as a day laborer to bring food home, while my mother keeps busy at home taking care of my siblings and me. I admire her because she plays an important role in our family. We enjoy participating in the First Fruit Presentation at church. Our church’s name is Prince of Peace. This is all for now, but I hope to hear from you soon. Have a wonderful day!

In Jesus’ name,

Heimy Suleidy de la Cruz Benito
