My Story

Hello! I am so happy to know that you are reading my information. My full name is Daddy Eduardo Ajqui Jimon, and I hope you find this letter engaging. I am 13 years old, and I attend school as a fifth grader. My life changed a lot after my father’s death. He passed away about two years ago. It has been difficult to assimilate this sorrowful situation, but God has been with me. I usually pray when I am sad because the Lord gives me peace. I am grateful for having my mother with me. She is nurturing and works hard to support our family. She sells typical food like tamales and chuchitos from Monday to Friday.

 She also sells shoes on weekends at the market. Fortunately, we are healthy and attend church to praise Jesus’ name. He is God’s son. I want you to know that we enjoy taking part in the different activities at church, especially during Holy Week. To end this letter, I want you to know that my young brother and I get along very well. His name is Baker, and we have a lot of fun playing soccer in our free time. Have a wonderful day!

Kind regards,

Daddy Eduardo Ajqui Jimon
