My Story

Hello! I send you warm greetings from Tunaja I, the village where I live with my family. I am Jessica, and it is a pleasure to tell you about me. I am in good health and so are my loved ones. I attended school in the morning this year, and I was in 5^th grade. I now help to wash clothes and do other household chores. I am grateful for the food and medicine received at the feeding program; they have been a great blessing in my life. I love the program’s lunches, especially when they serve fried chicken. I receive a present and can watch beautiful choreographies when Christmas is celebrated at the program.

My family and I attend the Catholic Church. We would like to ask for your prayers for our well-being and economy. Like other families in our town, we raise hens and grow corn and black beans for selling. My father works as a day laborer, and he covers our needs. My mother works as a weaver, and she helps with the home income. I tell you that she helped me to give my information to the Evangelism team. I end my letter wishing you the best and hoping it reaches you in the right time. May God bless you!

Sincerely yours

Jessica Gonzalez Simaj
