My Story

Many blessings for you! I hope your loved ones and you are keeping well. This is Maricela Veronica De La Cruz Riz, and I want to tell you my news. Before starting, I want you to know that my mom and I gave this information to LW to share it with you. I am a healthy 14-year-old girl. I am in third grade again and receive classes in the morning. I hope to pass my grade this year. On weekends, I usually help with the household chores. I am grateful for LW because this has blessed me with delicious lunches. Thanks to your loving support, I can eat fried chicken which is my favorite. I like Christmas parties at LW because all the activities are engaging.

By God’s grace, my family is in good health. My father is a farmer and works hard to support our needs and expenses. My mom is a housewife and keeps busy raising our domestic animals. We raise sheep, hens, and turkeys. We also grow corn for our consumption. My family and I have attended the Catholic Charismatic Church for many years. I am on my way to accept Jesus. As for my parents, let me tell you that they did it several years ago. My father is part of the directive board at church. Taking advantage of this, I want to ask for your prayers for our house because we keep busy most of the time and almost never stay there. I say goodbye for now, but I hope to write you soon.

Affectionately,

Maricela Veronica De La Cruz Riz
