My Story

PENDING PHOTO 2024

Hello, dear siblings in God. It is a blessing to greet you through this letter. My full name is Johny De la Cruz Garcia, and I am a healthy 15-year-old boy. What about you? I hope you are also doing well. Let me tell you that I am in eighth grade this year. I attend school in the morning. I like helping my mom to do the household chores. I live with my mom and two siblings. I am the oldest child in my family. I beg you to pray for the healing of my mom. Unfortunately, she suffers from cysts and other issues in her womb. By the grace of the Lord, she is already under medical treatment. My father passed away many years ago. Since that happened, my mom has done her best to support our family economically. She makes a living by cleaning houses. We have hens and ducks at home. Besides raising domestic animals, we grow corn and beans for our consumption.

We are a Catholic family. We trust in our salvation and appreciate the LW evangelism team because they encouraged us to move forward. I am glad to be part of LW-Adopt a Child because I enjoy delicious food at the feeding program. That is a great blessing for my family and me! I love having fried chicken for lunch at the program. The staff organizes a Christmas party annually, and I like it because of the engaging activities. I say goodbye to you now, but I hope to hear from you soon. May the Lord bless you!

Kisses and hugs,

Johny De la Cruz Garcia
