My Story

Hello! I greet you in the name of Jesus and I hope you are doing fine alongside your loved ones. I want to share some news about my family and me through this letter. I am Olga Marina Gomez Luis, and I am 14 years old. I want to let you know that we continue attending the Catholic Church once a week. This year I no longer attend school, and last year I finished the 6^th grade. Nowadays, I am working in a grocery store in order to support home expenses. My dream is to have my own grocery store. My favorite celebration of the year is “Christmas” and “Easter” because we spend more time with the family. I like to drink coffee. Among sports, I like soccer. What I like to do for my birthday is to go out with my family. By the grace of God, my family and I are in good health.

My mother`s name is Estela Luis Aguilar. She is 30 years old. At the moment, she is a housewife, and she is raising hens, turkeys, and pigs to sell and get some income. My father`s name is Dionicio Idelfonso Gomez Luis.  He is 33 years old. I want to tell you that my father went to the United States 3 months ago. So, he lives and works washing dishes in a restaurant there.  We have good communication with him, and he sends some money to support us. We grow corn and black beans for the family`s consumption. As a humble family, our current needs are corn and groceries. We are grateful to Living Water because we have been blessed with meals, medical and dental, and spiritual support. I want to say thank you for the Christmas gift that I receive every end of the year. I hope you enjoy reading my letter. May God Bless you!

Many hugs,

Olga Marina Gomez Luis
