My Story

Hello, my name is Rosa Florinda Tino Gutierrez. I send you and your loved ones my warm greetings. I am 12 years old, and I am in fourth grade. When I’m not at school, I enjoy spending my time playing with my toys and dolls. My father’s name is Domingo Tino de la Cruz. He is a farmer, and he works very hard to make money to support my family. My mother, Tomasa Gutierrez, is a housewife. She stays home and takes care of the chores and housework. I enjoy going to the feeding program each week and eating a delicious meal. My favorite meal that they serve is the fried chicken. I also love the dances we do at the Christmas celebration at the end of the year. At home we grow corn that we use for our own needs. I want to tell you that Living Water has blessed my family in a great through the meals they provide at the program.

As a family, we attend a Catholic church. My parents are very strong in their faith. My older sister, Toribia shared this information with the LW teacher who visited us. I pray you are doing well, and I hope you will also pray for the health and wellbeing of my family. Thank you for taking the time to read about me today. I send you many hugs and blessings. 

With much love,

Rosa Florinda Tino Gutierrez
