My Story

Please receive a cordial greeting from Oswaldo Gudiel Veliz Santizo. I hope you and your loved ones are having a good day wherever you are. It is my pleasure to share with you that I have attended the feeding program for almost two years, and I have enjoyed each blessing that this organization gives me. My family and I pray that God blesses each of you by name since you provide LW-Adopt A Child with the resources to continue blessing children like me. I am 13 years old and I am in 4th grade. I like taking part in the Bible classes at the feeding program because it is engaging to learn new texts. My favorite weather is hot because I have fun playing water with my friends.

As proof that God’s mercy never ends, my family and I are doing well. My mother and I are members of a Christian Church called the Shelter of the Sheep. The communion and fellowship that our siblings in Christ provide are the motivations got our attendance. We are children of God and because of his precious son’s sacrifice, we have been forgiven, so we trust to be admitted into Heaven. My mother loves serving Christ at church, but sometimes, she feels discouraged because my father still does not look for the Lord. We pray for his conversion and I kindly ask you to join us in prayer. He makes a living by painting houses and my mother sells new and second-hand clothes to support our family. It is time to say goodbye, but I thank you so much for taking the time to read my 2026 information.

Huge hugs,

Oswaldo Gudiel Veliz Santizo
