My Story

Hello, my name is Nery Jackson De La Cruz Ordonez. It is a pleasure to greet you and your loved ones. I am 15 years old, and I am in the eighth grade. On the weekends, I work as a day laborer. Thank God, my family and I are in good health. My father, Valerio De La Cruz Ajqui, lives in the U.S., and works on a farm attending cows. He sends support every month to our family. My mother, Santos Ordonez Luis, lives in another city. I live with my paternal grandmother. I enjoy going to the feeding program each week and enjoy eating a delicious meal. My favorite meal that they serve at the feeding program is the fried chicken.

 I also enjoy the songs and the gift we receive at the end of year Christmas celebration at the feeding program. Living Water has greatly blessed my family by the meal and medicines they provide each week. At home, we grown corn for our own needs. We also raise chickens and cows for our own needs. We currently do not attend a church. I am thankful that the Living Water evangelism team has shared the gospel with my family. We are looking to find a church to attend. I pray that you are doing well, and I hope you will pray for the health of my family. Thank you for taking the time to read about me today. I send you many hugs and blessings.

With much love,

Nery Jackson De La Cruz Ordonez
