My Story

Good morning! This is Josue David Perez Gomez, and thank you for blessing me through LW Adopt-A-Child and the Feeding Program. I started to attend one year ago and my mother is thankful for the food and medical support for free that I get. She wishes many blessings from God upon the Ministry. I want you to know that I also like to attend the Bible classes because I have the opportunity to pray and listen to the stories from the Bible. By the grace of God, we continue attending the Calvary Christian Church and we enjoy the praises and teachings. We are secure in our salvation because Jesus has forgiven our sins and we are his children by his mercy. My mother asks for your prayers for economic provision, health and her job. I help her to pick up shoes and my toys at home. I am six years old and I am in kindergarten this year. I love hot weather because I like to play water with my cousins.

Thankfully, my whole family and I are in good health. I live with my mother at home, but my younger cousins and aunts also live with us. We live in a rented house. Each one has one room, but they share the payments from the rent and basic services. My mother struggles every day to cover my basic needs, but due to her age, she is not able to find a stable job. Now she is chopping vegetables for another woman for a business in the market. She also does errands and works on weekends to earn some extra money because she is the only one that supports me. As you know, my biological father is not present in my life, and I know nothing about him. Sometimes, it is so difficult for my mother to cover every need because she feeds me, and I also need the school supplies and shoes. My aunt Elsa takes care of me while my mother works. My aunt is a maid and she takes me to school every day and also accompanies me to the Feeding Center. I hope you like to read my news. I send you every kind of blessing!

Lots of love,

Josue David Perez Gomez
