My Story

Special regards from Pasojo III village! This is Esteban Domy Eliseo Garcia Chijal and I hope this letter finds you doing well. I am 6 years old and I am a kindergartener. In my free time, I have a lot of fun playing with toy cars. I like both cold and hot weather because they are good for our bodies and the environment. I want you to know that LW-Adopt A Child has blessed me with delicious food for about two years. I attend a nearby school to receive my meals. My parents are grateful to LW for the food and spiritual support that my siblings and I can receive. My siblings remember that we started to go there because they saw their classmates were receiving food for free, so they felt motivated to ask for information about how to get that blessing too. I am pleased to tell you that my whole family and I are in good health.

My father works hard as a day laborer and farmer, while my mother keeps busy doing the chores. She also raises chickens and embroiders typical blouses to sell in order to contribute to the expenses. My whole family and I usually travel to the coast and work in a coffee farm from November to January in order to earn a little extra income. While we are gone, my grandmother takes care of our domestic animals. She lives with us and my father covers her expenses. As for our spiritual life, I want you to know that my family and I are glad to be part of the Prince of Peace Church because we found a supportive and united family in Christ. My mother has assurance of her salvation because she received Jesus in her heart as her Lord and Savior. Therefore, sister Sandra (a member of the LW staff) recently encouraged her to continue persevering in her faith. She also took advantage of the opportunity to collect all this information to let you know about me. Until next time!

Sincerely yours,

Esteban Domy Eliseo Garcia Chijal
