My Story

I greet you fondly, hoping you are having a great day wherever you are. My name is Gelsin Estuardo, and this is my story. I am a Christian boy and still attend Way of Salvation Church. My family and I usually do it on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. My mom is Sandra Yolanda Agustin Ventura, and she is 43 years old. She is a healthy woman who makes a living by cleaning houses for other people. Unfortunately, she does not earn much and because of that, it has been difficult for her to support my school supplies. Some of our needs are groceries, a new closet, and school supplies for next year. Fortunately, we are in good health. Taking advantage of this, I want you to know that LW is a tremendous blessing for me. The staff has served with kindness and taught God’s news to many children.

Let me tell you that I was in eighth grade this year. I prefer to receive face-to-face classes because I understand the lessons faster than online. I want to continue studying to become a mechanic and speak English. Winter is the best season because of the cold, but cozy weather. I like drinking hibiscus tea, and my favorite sport is boxing. I am 14 years old. I like celebrating my birthday because my mom makes my day special. If she has enough resources, she prepares a delicious lunch for me. I say goodbye to you for now, but before I do, let me tell you that I gave all this information to an AAC member to share a little bit about my life with you. See you later!

Sincerely yours,

Gelsin Estuardo Tambito Agustin
