My Story

Hello, my name is Jessica Dominga de la Cruz Gutierrez. It is a pleasure to greet you and your loved ones. I am 8 years old, and I am in the second grade. On the weekends, I help with the household chores. Thank God, I am healthy. My father’s name is Luis de la Cruz Morente. He works as a farmer. He always supports our family. My mother’s name is Maria Gutierrez Riz. She takes care of our family and home. She suffers from gallbladder problems. She has already had one operation, but now needs another. Please pray for her. I enjoy going to the feeding program each week and eating a delicious meal. My favorite meal that they serve at the feeding program is the fried chicken. I also enjoy receiving a gift at the end of year Christmas celebration at the feeding program.

I tell you that Living Water has greatly blessed my family by the food they serve each week and the free medicines that are available to me. At home we raise chickens and grow corn for our own needs. As a family, we attend the Catholic church. My parents help in the church by visiting those that are sick. They are secure in their salvation. I pray that you are doing well, and I hope you will pray for the health of my mother. Thank you for taking the time to read about me today. I send you many hugs and blessings.

With much love,

Jessica Dominga de la Cruz Gutierrez
