Hello, my name is Ignacia Aura Marina Morente de la Cruz. I send you and your loved ones my warm greetings. I am 16 years old, and I no longer attend school. I help with the chores in the house, and I help my mother when she is selling vegetables in the market. My father’s name is Jose Morente Alvarado. He abandoned our family many years ago. My mother’s name is Manuela de la Cruz de la Cruz. She sells vegetables in the market every day. I enjoy going to the feeding program each week and eating a delicious meal. My favorite meal that they serve is the fried chicken. I also love receiving gifts and playing games at the Christmas celebration that the feeding program has at the end of the year.  I want to tell you that Living Water has blessed my family in a great way by the meals they serve each week and with the free medicine they give. At home, we raise chickens to sell. We also grow corn to use for our own needs. As a family, we attend the Ebenezer church. My mother is strong in her faith. My mother shared this information with the LW teacher who visited us. I pray that you are doing well, and I hope you will also pray for my family and for God’s provision. Thank you for taking the time to read about me today. I send you many hugs and blessings. 

With much love, 

Ignacia Marina Morente de la Cruz
