As many of you know, Enrique was born deaf, a unique circumstance that has led to a tapestry of wonderful memories, enriching experiences, and incredible opportunities. Through his journey, he has connected with countless individuals, organizations, and communities, fostering a spirit of understanding and acceptance. I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support from friends and family over the years, and your continued encouragement means the world to us. Your generous donations will directly benefit IL Hands and Voice, the non-profit organization where I proudly serve as vice-president. To be honest, I wouldn’t be where I am today without Enrique’s presence in my life and the guiding hand of God, who brought him to me just as he is. Your contributions will provide essential support for our mission, enabling us to continue offering parent-to-parent support, hosting in-person events, conducting informative webinars, and providing valuable resources. I understand that these are challenging times, but any amount you can contribute will be immensely appreciated, and may you be blessed in return. Together, let’s uplift the Deaf and Hard of Hearing children across Illinois. Let’s unite for Team Enrique, also affectionately known as Kike!
