My Story

Hello! My full name is Alex Zacarias Pastor Hernandez. I feel so happy to send you my updated information. My parents and I are in good health even though I am a deaf and mute boy. We believe in God and we belong to the Methodist Church called “Emanuel”, and our church encourages us to seek God and learn his word.

I am twenty-six years old, and as you know, I am a deaf and mute boy. I stay at home and I help my father to give the cows water. I love cold weather because it is comfortable to do many activities.  I live with my parents at home, and my mother does the household duties and raises and sells turkeys and hens. My father makes a living by doing farm jobs, and he also is a typical day laborer.  Furthermore, he raises and sells cows to sustain the family. My parents are thankful to LW Adopt-A-Child and the support for me. They saw that many children came to the Feeding Program and heard when the leaders from our community talked about the great support for free which encouraged them to send me to the Project. Thank you for blessing me!

I love you so much,

Alex Zacarias Pastor Hernandez
