My Story

Hello! How are you doing? I am Yennifer Mishel Morente Simaj, and I am so happy to greet you. Before updating you about my life, I want you to know that my mother and a member of the LW staff helped me write this letter. I am 6 years old, and I am pleased to share that I am in pre-kinder. Fortunately, everything is running well at school. I just made a new friend! Her name is Jasmin. This has been an exciting experience. I am grateful to God because He has blessed and taken care of my family and me.

We are healthy and attend a Christian Church called Prince of Peace. We love taking part in the Thanksgiving services for the harvest. Unfortunately, I do not have my father with me because he abandoned our family. He only recognized me legally. My mother is a single parent and works hard to cover our needs. She dedicates herself to raising pigs and weaving typical items. Even though she gets tired after work, she always does her best to spend time with my brother and me. This is all for now, but I hope you found my information engaging. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

With many blessings,

Yennifer Mishel Morente Simaj
