My Story

Hello! How are you? I hope you are doing well together with your loved ones. I am Josselin, and I want to tell you about me. I am fine, and I am attending school in the morning. I am in 6^th grade, and I turned 14 in June. On weekends, I go to work with one of my aunts. I have been blessed with lunches at the feeding program, and my favorite one is fried chicken. I have really enjoyed the Christmas celebration at the feeding program; it is a beautiful activity done for us. I was diagnosed with gastritis, but I am already under a medical treatment at LW clinics. We grow corn and black beans, and these crops are for selling and also for our consumption.

As you know, my father no longer lives with us, but now, he has started to help us financially every month. He just gives us a little money, so my mother has to cover the majority of our expenses. She sells herbs, hens and turkeys. I ask for your prayers for her because she is suffering from knee pain and is not taking medicine due to our low resources; she has not visited a doctor. We are still part of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, and we are assured of our Salvation. My mom helped me to give my information to a LW Evangelism teacher, and she wants to take the opportunity to ask for your prayers for us, her children. I say goodbye to you for now. I wish you the best.

With much love

Josselin Griselda Ruiz Garcia
