My Story

It is a great pleasure for me to greet you by this means, and I hope everything goes well with you and your loved ones. My name is Jhosua, and I am so happy to share with you some news about my family and me. Thankfully, I am in good health. I am 6 years old, and I am not attending school this year, because my parents are not able to cover my school fees. I stay at home, and I like to play hide-and-seek and ball with my sister, Sheila. I consider her my friend too because we play together. I want to tell you that one of the experiences that has filled me with much joy was my birthday because my parents made the effort to take me to eat at Pollo Campero restaurant, and they sang “Happy Birthday”. This was something that I enjoyed a lot, and it is a moment to never forget.

Praise God, my parents are in good health; my father struggles to cover our needs by working as a farmer here in our town. My mother works so hard at home doing the cleaning and taking care of us. I love my mother, and I identify with her because I spend more time with her. As a family, we are members of the Catholic Church. I like to attend mass every Sunday, and if you ask me who is Jesus for me, I can truly tell you that He is our eternal life. Before saying goodbye, I want you to know that all this information was provided by my mother. I will be waiting to hear from you soon. May God bless you in every moment!

With much love,

Jhosua Estuardo Jerez Sagche
