My Story

Hello, everybody! I am Alex Luis de la Cruz and I am glad to tell you a little bit about my life through this letter. I am 8 years old, and fortunately, I am in good health. I am in first grade again, but I am doing all my best to pass my grade. The weather here in Chuchuca village tends to be cold, but when it is hot, I can do engaging activities outside like playing soccer. I live with my mother and three siblings. Thankfully, they are in good health. My mother is a busy housewife and she helped me to compose this letter for you. She also dedicates part of her time to raising chickens and goats to sell and contribute to the expenses. She has assurance of her salvation because she accepted Jesus in her heart.

We attend the Catholic Church and participating in the holy mass motivates us to persevere. I do not have my father with me because he traveled to the United States about six years. He makes a living by butchering chickens and sends us money every month. Could you please pray for him so that God will keep him safe? I have attended the feeding program for about three years. What I like the most about receiving Bible lessons is praying. My parents know that LW-Adopt A Child would not be able to work without the financial support of generous people like you, so they thank you so much. This is all for now, but I hope to hear from you soon.

With much love,

Alex Luis de la Cruz
