My Story

Good morning! My name is Joy Daniela Johana De Leon Lorenzana, and it is a blessing for me to greet you and tell you that I have been blessed through Adopt-A-Child in the Feeding Program for one year. My mother affiliated me due to the benefits for free. It is a big blessing for many children in need. I like to attend the Bible classes because we pray and listen to the stories from the Bible.

As a family, we are not attending any church, but the LW teacher shared the gospel to my mother and she thinks to seek one. The teacher also prayed for my family and work for my father. He continues earning a living as a shoemaker, and my mother and older brother also works with him. Sometimes, they do not have much work, but my father tries to cover our financial needs always. Unfortunately, my mother is suffering from pain in her breast again. She visited the doctor and he told her she needs t do some tests. She needs a mammography and ultrasound but she does not have the money. I beg for your prayers for her health. I help to pick up shoes at home. I love hot days to play with water. I am in second grade this year and I am nine years old. By the grace of God, my father, the rest of my family and I are doing well. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I love you so much!

In Jesus’ love,

Joy Daniela Johana De Leon Lorenzana
