My Story

Special regards from the beautiful Chixocol village! I am so happy to tell you that I have attended the feeding program for about one year, which has been a great blessing since I can receive medicine for free and food. My full name is Shaimaa Idaira Azuleemy Quej Naz and I am 12 years old. I attend the third grade at school and I like helping my mother to feed our domestic animals. Between hot and cold weather, I prefer hot because I like going to the river and cooling off. I tell you that I attend the Full Gospel Church alongside my family. My mother is a faithful woman who encourages my siblings and me to learn more about God. She was encouraged by a member of the LW staff to keep going since she does not have any doubt about her salvation. Thankfully, she accepted Jesus in her heart.

The people who I live with are my mother, three siblings, and one of my aunts on my mother’s side. Thankfully, we are all doing well. I tell you that my mother felt motivated to enroll me in LW-Adopt A Child because she had the opportunity to have her meals there when she was a child. She remembers that she used to be part of the youth group and enjoyed each competition they organized. Today, she keeps busy taking care of our family and selling typical belts that she weaves herself to contribute to the expenses. My father does not live with us because he traveled to the Unites States recently. I am glad because he is doing well and keeps in touch with us. He makes a living as a security guard and sends us money every month. It is time to say goodbye, and I thank you so much for reading my information. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Lots of love,

Shaimaa Idaira Azuleemy Quej Naz
