My Story

Hoping you have a wonderful day and that you are blessed. I am so happy to let you know that my family and I attend Door of Salvation Church, and we go on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Thankfully, we are in good health. My father is Gerardo, and his age is 37 years old. He makes a living by farming the land and day laboring. He works 3 or 4 days per week and is giving us financial support. My mother is Cristina, and her age is 35 years old. She does the household work and raises hens, sheep and pigs to sell and contribute to the income. My family grow corn and black beans for our consumption.

Well, I am going to share some things about me. I am Tomasa Veronica de la Cruz Garcia, and I am already 5 years old. Due to my young age, I am still not attending school. My native language is Quiche dialect, and I would like to learn to speak Spanish because I would like to communicate better with other people. I enjoy playing, but the sport I like the most is football. I like drinking sodas of all flavors. I like Christmas time because people light firecrackers; the show around is cool. I am so grateful to Living Water who provides me with a tasty meal each time I go and with dental and medical attention; it is a big blessing for me and also to my siblings. At home, we are in need of groceries, corn and clothes. Take care. Every kind of blessing on you!

Lots of love,

Tomasa Veronica de la Cruz Garcia
