I greet you in the name of Jesus hoping you and yours are doing great! My name is Maria Anally Clara Nicol Colay Barillas. I am a 16-year-old girl. Let me tell you that last year I started the 7th grade in June; teachers supported me with study guides and fortunately, I passed my grade. This year I attend 8th grade and take my classes online since I have difficulties moving independently. I love eating boiled plantains because those are delicious. I love to attend church with my family. I live with my grandma who is elderly; I am very thankful to her because she is taking care of my sister and me. She continues selling second-hand clothes, toys and other items in the market to get money and supply our needs. Moreover, we receive support from one aunt; she is to kind toward us.
I am very thankful to you and Living Water for all the support I receive in the medical and dental clinics; the vitamins are so helpful for me. I get so happy to receive a gift at Christmas in the feeding program because it makes me so happy. We attend church and my grandma is a deaconess. I would appreciate it if you could keep my family in your prayers for our health. To end my letter, let me tell you that my grandmother gave this information to the LW team to update you about me. This is all for now, but I am hoping to receive news from you very soon. Many blessings!
Lots of love,
Maria Anally Clara Nicol Colay Barillas
