VivirLatino

Last week my appearance on Yo Soy Latino show on 810 AM WEUS in Florida was mad short due to technical issues that can happen. Pero, host Jose Miranda was gracious enough to invite me back. That means that mañana, from 12-1 pm EST you can tune in (for non-Orlando area peeps you can listen online) and hear me discuss independent media, blogging, immigration, mami’hood, poetry and organizing and the ways all these intersect.

Jose also wanted me specifically to direct our readers’ attention to the health situation of a 14 year old Latina, Bridget Ayala Torres, who needs the community’s help.

There is a young 14 year old girl by the name of Bridget Ayala Torres, lying in Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. She is fighting for her life and she needs our help. She has been told she has less then 3 months to live. Bridget needs to find a compatible bone marrow donor out there somewhere; but more importantly, she needs help with funds to make that fight for her life. Just ask yourself how far would you go to save a loved one, your parents, your brother/sisters, or your child? This child needs us. There will be upcoming events planned for her in Orlando and in Miami stay tuned for dates and times. For more information you can also contact Bridget’s
