My Story

Hello! My name is Jordin Santiago, and I am delighted to share my latest news with you through this means. Before doing it, let me tell you that my mom helped me to give all this information to a member of the LW staff to share it with you. We are grateful to her because she talked with us about Jesus, which was great blessing for our lives. At the moment, we do not attend any church. My father is Edgar Alfredo Ruano Hernandez, and he is 37 years old. He still works as a messenger for a company called Tecnidiesel to support our family. My biological mom is Cesibel Noemi de la Roca Zeysi, and she is 38 years old. She is a housewife and earns some money as a manicurist. Fortunately, we are all in good health. Our economic situation has not gone well because everything is pricey. Some of our greatest needs are groceries and shoes. As for pets, let me tell you that we have three parakeets, two turtles, and many fish.

Now, I want to tell you a little bit more about me. I am 9 years old, and this year, I was in third grade. I prefer to receive face-to-face classes because when I have doubts, I can ask for the teacher’s help. There are many things that I would love to do when I am older. Some of them are to become a firefighter and to speak English. I love December because of my birthday. What I love the most is having a birthday party with clowns and a pinata (it is a typical birthday puppet full with candies). There are many engaging sports, but my favorite is soccer. To end this letter, let me tell you that LW has been a tremendous blessing for my stepsister and me. We can receive medicine when we get sick or attend the dental clinics. Thank you so much for trusting in this project! I say goodbye to you for now, but I hope to hear from you soon.

Cordiality yours,

Jordin Santiago Ruano de la Roca
