My Story

Special regards! It is such a blessing to share a little bit about my life with you. My full name is Balvina Chic Cux and I have attended the feeding program for about three years. What I like the most is praying before having my meals. My mother is grateful for all the support that I have received at this organization, since it has been a great blessing. We are a low-income family and when I get sick, she can take me to the LW clinics. I am 11 years old and I am in third grade. Fortunately, I am in good health. I usually sweep and wash the dishes to contribute to the chores. I like the cold weather because I do not like sweating.

I attend an Evangelical Church alongside my family. I live with my mother, stepfather, and two sisters, who are enrolled at the feeding program too. We feel motivated to persevere there because of the fellowship. I am pleased to tell you that my mother has assurance of being admitted into heaven because she accepted Jesus in her heart. She is a healthy housewife and works as a domestic employee to contribute to the expenses. My stepfather makes a living by working in a convenience store. While they work, my grandmother takes care of my sisters and me. Thankfully, nobody in my family is sick. Could you please for our well-being? In advance, thank you so much!

With much love,

Balvina Chic Cux
