My Story

I greet you with much love, and I hope you are doing well wherever you are. My name is Diego Alejandro, and this is part of my history. I am a healthy boy, and I am 16 years old. I am a student, and I am repeating 8^th grade this year. I help with the chores at home like sweeping and cleaning the room. I do not like the hot weather, so I prefer winter season. I have been attending the feeding program for more than two years, and I am grateful for the delicious lunches I have been receiving at the program. One of my friends encouraged me to attend the program.

I only live with my mother since my father passed away. My mom works by packing vegetables in a company. Thankfully, she is in good health. One of my uncles lives with us, and we share the home expenses with him. My family and I are members of the Catholic Church, and I love hearing Jesus’ histories. We know that we have to behave well and help our brethren in order to enter God’s Kingdom. I thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter. May God bless you!

Kisses and hugs

Diego Alejandro Mendoza Larios
