My Story

I greet you in this beautiful day hoping our Lord is taking care of you! My name is Sebastiana Luis Grave. I will turn 13 years old this August. I am in 6th grade and my classes are in the morning. I usually stay at home and help my grandma with the housework. My father is in the United States; he works in a chicken farm and kills them to sell. Thankfully, he sends us financial support monthly for our needs. My mother is not living with me because she has another family. Thanks to God my paternal grandparents are taking care of me. My grandma does the chores at home and raises hens and sheep to sell and get some income. My grandfather does farm work and grows corn and beans for our livelihood. I thank God for blessing us in many ways, especially with our health.

I like to participate in the Christmas celebration that the evangelism team prepares in the feeding program. I thank God for allowing me to receive support from Living Water; the food is a great help for me. The food I love the most is fried chicken. We are members of the Catholic Church; my family has welcomed Jesus into their hearts. I want to ask for your prayers for my father who is working away from us. To end, let me tell you that my grandma gave this information to the LW team to update you about me. I hope you enjoy my letter and I hope you to hear from you very soon. May God bless you!

Lots of love,

Sebastiana Luis Grave
