Thanks to you, Virgin of Guadalupe, my wife agreed to pose naked for my paintings, and thanks to that I won the artist contest and a scholarship.

I dedicate this present exvoto with eternal gratitude to Saint Patrick for getting the scholarship from Inter American University of the State of Nuevo Leon so I could play the sport I’ve been so much passionate since childhood—American football.

The Perez Lopez family thanks the Virgin of the Solitude because their son won the robotics contest in his school and received a grant for studying abroad.

Marcela Suarez thanks Saint James for her son played American football very well and thats why he received a grant for studying abroad. He will be the first in the family who will make a career.

Beatriz Robledo got a scholarship to study in France. She thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe for this and promise to be at her best.

My son David became a good for nothing hippy. He spent days smoking stinking cigarettes. I suspect it was marijuana. I prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan so that she would bring him to reason. Thanks to her he got a scholarship in the capital. Now he’s a good man.
