“Maria Herrera was a sweet girl who loved to sing and dance. She had a smile and a laugh that could light up a room. Maria wanted what every child wants.. friends. Maria was my niece. She would ask if she could be my other butterfly, because that’s what I call my daughter Bianca and of course I would say yes. Maria you always were a beautiful butterfly!
In Maria’s name I want to help other young people soar and that’s what it means when you become a friend of Mari and join the Movement. Your purchase of Oh Mari! along with donations will go towards the Mari Scholarship Fund. Your gifts of love will also assist me in preparing underserved and underprivileged teens for prom and graduation. Maria never got to dance at her prom or walk the aisle for graduation so it’s in my heart to make it happen for others. I know she would smile. Stand with me and help me help our youth find their voice!”
