My Story

Hello! I want to start this letter by praying that God’s peace and love be always with you. I am Miguel Angel Ciriaco Ruiz de la Cruz, and I am 6 years old. How are you doing? I am pleased to share that I am a healthy boy. I still do not attend school, but I hope to do it next year. Therefore, my mother and a member of the LW staff helped me write this for you. I love my mother so much because she is nurturing and keeps busy taking care of my twin brother and me, while my father goes to work. He makes a living as a mason’s helper.

I am a lucky boy because I have the best friend and twin brother ever! His name is Cesar. We love playing soccer in our free time. We enjoy attending church because we can take part in the different activities, like the Thanksgiving services for the harvest. We are members of the Christ Church, and praise Jesus’ name because he is our Savior. This is all for now, but thank you so much for taking the time to learn about me. I hope to hear from you soon. Take care of yourself!

Best wishes,

Miguel Angel Ciriaco Ruiz de la Cruz
