My Story

I send special greetings by this letter hoping you are doing great. My name is Armando. I am 12 years old and I live along with my parents and siblings. I attend 3^rd grade and I receive face-to-face classes on Tuesday and Thursday from 08:00 to 11:00 AM. I give my homework to my teacher when I go to classes. Fortunately, I am doing well in my studies and I hardly ever have doubts about my homework. My mother usually is busy with the duties at home. My father earns a living as a farmer but he also goes to cut sugar cane on the coast to get extra income.

Let me tell you that the covid-19 pandemic came to affect our economy due to lack of work. Thank God, we could move forward with the help that we received from my siblings’ school. We are sure that God´s faithfulness is with us since He has been watching over us from this dangerous illness. We are grateful to Living Water / Adopt A Child because they have been blessing us with grocery bags. My family and I have enjoyed everything that we received. Thank you very much for all the support that we receive from you through the feeding program. We pray that our Lord blesses you greatly for all your love toward us. Thank God, my family and I are healthy and nobody has been infected with covid-19 so far. We attend Church of Christ; the services are on Tuesday for one hour. I want to let you know that an evangelism teacher of LW called my father, Sebastian De La Cruz by phone to get this updated information since the feeding program is still closed due to the pandemic. I say goodbye to you for now but I send much love. Many blessings!

Lots of love,

Armando De La Cruz Grave
