My Story

It is a great pleasure to say hello to you through this letter. My name is Veronica Leticia Garcia Chingo and I am eleven years old. This year, I am in the fifth grade at school and I am receiving classes one day per week due to the pandemic. I go to school every Tuesday from 8:00 am to 11:30 am and the teachers give us homework to do at home. It has been difficult for me to study and I am not learning well because I only receive one day of classes. I always have doubts and my mother has to explain to me. My father is working as a farmer and as a day laborer. He is covering the home expenses. My mother does the household chores and takes care of us.

Thank God, the current situation has not affected us because my father has had a job. We have seen God´s faithfulness in our lives because we have not lacked food at home. We have received groceries bags from Living Water and it has been a great blessing for us. We are so thankful to you and we hope that God blesses you and provides your needs. Fortunately, we are healthy and we have not been infected from the virus. We attend Catholic Church every Sunday and we receive one hour of preaching. I want to tell you that one of the AAC-team called my mother and she was the one who gave this update information about me; it was by phone due to the pandemic. I say goodbye to you for now wishing you many blessings.

Lots of hugs,

Veronica Leticia Garcia Chingo
