My Story

Hello! I greet you with much love hoping you are fine together with your loved ones. I am Heidy Francisca Thamar Chingo Pu. I am writing this letter to tell you about my family and me. We have hens at home, and we sometimes sell them to improve the income. Our incomes are not so high, so we frequently need groceries like corn and black beans. My mother is in good health. Her name is Sara, and she is 35 years old. She is working as a farmer on a cattle farm in the United States to support us; she faithfully sends us money. My siblings and I are under the care of our aunt named Raquel. She is 37 years old and works in a cake shop. My father’s name is Tereso but he is not part of my life. We are still members of Church of God, and we attend it once a week. We are assured of our Salvation.

I am a healthy girl who likes playing basketball. I am 12 years old, and I want to become a nurse in the future. It would be nice to learn English language someday. I am in 5^th grade this year, and I am receiving face-to-face classes which helps me to do my homework quicker. It has been a little difficult for my mother to support me with my studies. My favorite drink is Coca-Cola, and I love my town’s fair because I like to take part in the parade and play the different games. I would like to receive a cake on my birthday. Living Water is very important for me because I have been blessed with delicious lunches. I want to ask you to pray for my grandpa because he is having health issues and is under a medical treatment. I say goodbye to you for now hoping to hear from you soon.

All the best

Heidy Francisca Thamar Chingo Pu
