My Story

Good morning, I am so glad to be able to share with you my information and I trust our Lord is blessing you! This is Alicia Isabela de la Cruz Macario. My current age is 12 years old. My family and I are members of the Catholic Church. As a family, we love to attend the Thanksgiving Service at the end of the year and give thanks to the Lord for all the blessings we received throughout the year that we have just finished. It was so kind of the LW member to encourage us to continue trusting in God and hope in His will. My mom does the household work and weaves typical items. Moreover, she raises and sells hens to contribute to the income. My dad makes a living farming the land, and he grows tomatoes on our property for selling.

I am a fourth-grade student this year. Marina is my friend and we like to play tag and football. We have been friends for two years. My parents are so good with me. They show me their affection with nice words, and most importantly, they advise me to become a good person. I recognize Jesus is God´s son, He is in heaven and helps us in every moment of our lives. Let me tell you that my family and I have gone through problems and difficulties in our lives and some of them affected us emotionally. We always pray to God and He always comfort our hearts. I would like you to know that my mom, Tomasa, shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. We encourage the LW staff to continue supporting and motivating needy families to trust in God´s faithfulness. Thank you for stopping and reading my letter. Many and rich blessings over you!

Lots of love,

Alicia Isabela de la Cruz Macario
