Araceliz Romero-Gonzalez is an educator, child advocate and mother of three. Her teenage son is overcoming the effects of autism thanks to her exceptional parenting skills and tireless efforts to fight for his academic and medical rights.
Last month, Araceliz helped to organize a fundraiser in our neighborhood for Anais Rosado, a beautiful three year old suffering from Leukemia.
As she handed me a glossy invitation, I spied the colorful Caring Bridge logo in the corner of the picture. Caring Bridge is a non-profit that offers websites to critically ill children so that they can keep friends and family in the loop on their medical progress. Many of these children need constant care, and are not strong enough to recieve visitors, these websites are the only way that they can communicate with the outside world. Anais is too young to text, so her mother writes the journal entries about her courage and chemo treatments.
Caring Bridge also accepts donations to help familes defray medical expenses.
For more information about Anais Rosado and the Caring Bridge organization go to www.caringbridge.org search for her story.
