My Story

Hello! My name is Amarda Qosja. I am 19 years old and my birthday is on January 7th. I am doing well and enjoy good health. My favorite color is black. I pick this color in my dresses or sport outfits. I like dressing seriously and classy. My future dream is to be a nurse, and I enjoy studying, especially the Albanian language. Right after I come back from school, I meet with my friends and we chat or fellowship for a while. We like to take walks for a while after school and while walking and speaking we spend a wonderful time of friendship.

My family and I live in Elbasan. There are five people in my family. My father, my mother, my older brother, my younger sister and I. My older brother is matured. My younger sister is also registered in the program of Adopt a Child and we both receive food packages that are provided. My father is unable to work, due to physical restrictions. Because he is physically disabled, he receives a pension from the government. With this small amount, my parents buy food for us, and when possible, second hand clothes, especially when we start school. We are in need financially. My mother is unable to work due to tending the needs of my father due to his physical restrictions. She also does the cleaning, cooking, washing, shopping and other things that are needed to be done in our family. I am happy that my brother is old enough and he will start to work. He will care for our family needs if he will find a job. I am happy that I receive support and care from the sponsorship program of Adopt a Child. I go to the church services and Bible classes regularly and I am happy that I take the Bible lessons from the teachers of the church. Thank you for helping me. God bless you richly!
