My Story

Hello! I am Jacinta Domenica Elvia Morente Barrera, and I hope you are doing well. Let me tell you that I am 11 years old, and this year, I am in fourth grade. I have classes at school in the morning. I like helping my mom with the household chores on weekends. I am grateful for LW because I can receive delicious food and medicines. Undoubtedly, this project has blessed my life a lot! I enjoy eating sausages there. I enjoy celebrating Christmas at LW because of the engaging games and gifts. Thankfully, my whole family and I are in good health.

However, we have had heavy economic limitations since my father abandoned us. Therefore, I would love to count on your prayers for us. My mom has worked hard so we can move forward. She is a housewife and raises hens, sheep, and pigs to sell. By God’s grace, we count on the economic support of my oldest sister. She has worked in a tortilleria business for some months. We have attended a Christian Church for many years. My mom accepted the Lord as her Savior many years ago. To end this letter, I want you to know that my oldest sister gave all this information to a teacher of LW to share it with you. I say goodbye to you for now, but I hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes,

Jacinta Domenica Elvia Morente Barrera
