I think it’s time that I should introduce you all to the love of my life.
This is Alex Raul Rivera Cruz. He is 11 years old as of September 30, and he is my sponsor child through Inca Link International. He is the light of my world and the love of my life. This child is just like any other child concerning his spectrum of emotions. He feels happiness, sadness, loneliness, acceptance, hunger, thirst, satisfaction, and joy. The difference is when and how often Alex feels these things. He feels hunger and thirst more often than you do. He feels sadness and loneliness almost constantly as he tries to raise his three younger siblings. However, thanks to Inca Link’s daycare center, he feels satisfaction after his hearty meal three times a week. He feels happiness as he plays with the other kids on the “cancha.” He feels joy when he hears the gospel of Jesus Christ. And best of all, I know that he feels acceptance when he is in my arms. I am his hero, and he is certainly mine. Sponsorship has been an amazing gift for Alex, but I know that it has been the greatest gift I have ever received. I want nothing more than to get back to Peru so that I can hold him once again and feel his tiny little arms around me. Please check out Inca Link’s Sponsorship page to get involved and be someone’s hero.
