My Story

Hello! I am Sara Lisandra Garcia Chingo, and I am so happy and grateful to you because I know you are taking some minutes of your time to learn a little about my life. Before telling you my news, I want you know that my mother and a member of the LW staff helped me write this letter. I am 15 years old, and I am healthy, by God’s grace. I want to share that I had an appendix surgery in February. That was an impactful experience, but Jesus took care of me. Fortunately, there were no complications. Today, I am dedicated to helping my mother with the chores. I identify with her so much because we love cooking.

While we keep busy at home, my father works as a mason to cover our needs. My mother also raises and sells chickens to contribute to the expenses. Please pray for my parents. My father is under lifelong treatment because of his diabetes, and my mother takes painkillers to mitigate the pain after a surgery that she had about one year ago. She underwent surgery because for her gallbladder. As for our spiritual life, let me tell you that we attend Ebenezer Church. I like my church because there are nice activities and I can learn more about the Lord. This is all for now, but I hope to hear from you soon. Have a wonderful day!

Best wishes,

Sara Lisandra Garcia Chingo
