My Story

Hello! My full name is Lester Geovany Grave De La Cruz, and I am grateful to the Lord for allowing me to share my updated information with you. I am 15 years old. I dedicate myself to working as a day laborer to help my family a little economically. Dropping out of school was a challenging decision that my family and I had to take because of our low resources. Although we usually pass through difficult moments, God has never left us alone. I want you to know that I am under treatment at LW. When I went to the medical campaign this year, the doctor told me that I have hepatitis.

I am glad because my family is healthy. I identify with my mother because my physical features are very similar to hers. She keeps busy doing the household chores, while my father works as a day laborer to provide us with everything we need to survive. We attend the Catholic Church and enjoy participating at Mass to thank God for any blessing, like a new year of life. To end this letter, I want you to know that a member of the LW staff shared the gospel with my mother and encouraged her to continue working on her spiritual growth at church. That happened while we shared all this information just for you. See you later!

With many blessings,

Lester Geovany Grave De La Cruz
