My Story

Kisses and hugs to you! My full name is Josseline Maria Garcia De La Cruz and it is a pleasure to share a little about my life with you. I love soccer! I practice that sport alongside my older sister on weekends. I am out of school because of vacation. I was in third grade this year again. I enjoy attending the feeding program so much because of the tasty meals that I can get there. My favorite food is fried chicken. I get excited when Christmastime comes because the LW staff prepares an engaging party annually. What I like the most are choreographies, games, and Christmas gift.

My family and I attend Ebenezer Methodist Church. A teacher of the LW evangelism team recently shared the gospel with my sister and me as an encouragement to strengthen our faith. We appreciate the time he dedicated to us. My stepfather helps us a little economically. As for my mom, she has done multiple tasks to support our family economically such as washing clothes for other people, weaving typical blouses, and raising domestic animals at home to sell. We have hens, turkeys, and cows. We also grow corn for our consumption. My mom is doing well, although she sometimes has an itchy and pink eye. At the moment, she is not taking any medicine because of a lack of money. I want you to know that my uncle, Rigoberto, was operated on. I beg you to pray for his soon recovery and my mom. It is time to say goodbye, but I send you a lot of kisses and hugs. See you later!

Kisses and hugs,

Josseline Maria Garcia De La Cruz
