MY FAMILY

It a very rough day for me my name is Leo and I’m about to share a lovely story of how God saved me, show me mercy, even after I lost everything and gave me a second chance at life

When I was five years old

I live in a small village in AFRICA with my parents

Life was hard, but my parents

Never stopped dreaming of a better future for me

They worked tirelessly, hoping

That one day we could leave our struggles behind

That hope led us to board a small

Boat, one faithful night, heading for Europe, the

Boat was crowded and unsteady

But my parents reassured me, saying God will

Protect us , the first few hours were

Calm and I believed them , but as night fell, the

Sea turned violent, waves crashed

Against the boat, rocking it so hard that people

Began to scream and prayed

I remember clinging to my mother as she whisp\-
