My Story

Hello, good morning! I fondly greet you, hoping you find all this information interesting. I am Pedro Aderson Mardoqueo de la Cruz Jimon and thanks to LW-Adopt A Child, I have received delicious food for about two years. This organization has been a great blessing for many children in Pasojoc village for a long time. Proof of that, my mother had the opportunity to receive food and other benefits for free. What she liked the most was participating in the Christmas activities. Today, she is a healthy housewife. She also raises domestic animals to earn a little income from sales and contribute to the expenses. We have a few chickens, pigs, and sheep. While my mother keeps busy at home, my father makes a living as a day laborer in our village. He is doing well and often travels to work at the coast in order to bring food home.

I am 7 years old and I still do not attend school, but I hope to do it soon. At the moment, I am dedicated to shepherding sheep to help my mother. I prefer the cold weather rather than hot because I like wearing warm clothes. I attend the Catholic Church with my family and what I like the most are the songs they play to worship God. I am pleased to tell you that my mother accepted Jesus in her heart as her savior. Brother Mario (a member of the LW staff) recently congratulated and encouraged her to continue looking for God and take care of her salvation. He took advantage of the opportunity to collect all this information in order to let you know about it. I will leave you now, but I send you all my best wishes.

Sincerely yours,

Pedro Aderson Mardoqueo de la Cruz Jimon
