My Story

Hello! My full name is Jairo Manuel Tzoy de la Cruz, and I am glad to tell you about my life through this letter. I hope this letter finds you in good health. By the grace of God, I am a healthy 14-year-old boy. I dropped out of school a few years ago. So, I keep busy working at home. I take advantage of weekends to weave because I like doing it. Let me tell you that it is a blessing for me to have delicious lunches at the feeding program. My favorite food is a hamburger patty. Besides having delicious lunches, I enjoy receiving the annual Christmas gift at the feeding program from many good-hearted people like you. May the Lord reward you all for supporting this project!

Now, I want to tell you a little about my family. Almost everybody is healthy, but that is not the case for my mom. I ask you to pray for her because she suffers from gastritis. To mitigate the terrible stomach issues, she takes natural medicine. She has not gone to the doctor because of a lack of money. My father works as a farmer in the village. He does his best to cover the expenses and needs at home. We are a Catholic family. We have attended a Charismatic Catholic Church for many years. My mom is grateful to the LW staff for encouraging her to seek God even more. She trusts God is our Savior because my father and she received Jesus in their hearts. We are glad because my sister Lesbia serves at church by reading the gospel. I say goodbye to you now, but I appreciate you taking the time to read my information. See you later!

Kind regards,

Jairo Manuel Tzoy de la Cruz
