My Story

Hello! My full name is Juana Guadalupe Micaela Tum Tiniguar and I am pleased to share a little bit about my life with you. The first thing that I want you to know is how grateful my mother is to LW-Adopt A Child for all the benefits that I have received during the last two years. Before having my meals, I usually receive Bible lessons and what I like the most is praying. My mother helped me to compose this letter for you. While we were working on it, she told me that she had the opportunity to see how this organization blessed children in need. Due to her nice experience, she felt motivated to take my brother and me there. Today, she keeps busy doing the housework. She also raises and sells chickens to contribute to the expenses.

My father is a farmer and does his best to bring food home and cover my education. I am 6 years old and I am in pre-kinder. Fortunately, I am in good health and I have a lot of fun going to the pools when it is hot. At church, I like praying together with my siblings in Christ. I would like to become an intercessor when I grow up. My family and I are motivated to be part of the Catholic Church because we participate in the holy mass and listen to the gospel read by the priest. My mother has assurance of her salvation because she accepted Jesus Christ in her life as her Lord and Savior. It is time to say goodbye, but I hope you enjoyed reading my information.

With much love,

Juana Guadalupe Micaela Tum Tiniguar
