My Story

Hello! I am Jonathan Andree Ramirez Carcamo, and I fondly greet you in Jesus’ name. I am a healthy 12-year-old boy, and I hope you are doing well. I am in sixth grade at school. Let me tell you that I went to the beach for the first time a while ago, thanks to one of my aunts, on my mom’s side. That was a lovely and surprising experience! I am sure that God blessed my family and me with this trip. If you ask me who Jesus is to me, I will say He is my faithful friend. I have made friends at school, and one of them is Dilan. I met him about two years ago. I identify with my mom because we have confidence in each other. My mom makes a living by tending a bakery. She is worried because she does not get enough income to cover our needs, such as the rent payment for our house and school supplies.

Our financial situation gets even more complicated when she has to buy her medicine or new shoes for my siblings and me. When she is on her period, she suffers from weakness and seizures. Therefore, she must take her treatment in the morning and at night to stay stable. She devotedly prays to be healed by the Lord. So, I ask you to join our prayers. My father has not lived with us for many years. We do not receive economic support from him. We have heard that he makes a living by painting cars, but unfortunately, he is not doing well because he has problems with alcohol. I will leave you now, but I want you to know that my mom and I gave all this information to LW just for you. See you later!

With love,

Jonathan Andree Ramirez Carcamo
