Several local bands have organized a benefit show to Help Roberto! The community support we are receiving is great! Hope Everyone can come to show and help out a great cause!
We want to thank everyone who came out to support 'Help Roberto.' Your generosity and compassion for Roberto will never be forgotten. We also want to thank Chick-Fil-A for having the benefit night and we look forward to a long friendship together with them. We sold many t-shirts and bracelets and educated a lot of people about CIPA, Roberto shook a lot of hands and made lasting impressions on people. He did get too hot at one point and had to have his shirt and shoes off. Roberto had a wonderful time and we are that much closer to his therapy swimming pool. God Bless You All!
Here are Juan and Luis wearing Miracles Happen, www.HelpRoberto.com bracelets. They are very proud of them. You can purchase your very own bracelet at the Wea Summer Recreation Baseball Fields for $2.00 each. All proceeds go to the Help Roberto fund to get Roberto his therapy swimming pool.
Here is the prescription for the therapy swimming pool that I have for Roberto. Please notice the date of the prescription - April 14, 2005. I have been for the past two years trying to get this pool for him and with your help we can do it! All donations count and make a difference. Spread the word!
Here is Juan's (Roberto's older brother) baseball team sporting their Help Roberto shirts. Roberto also has a shirt of his own and enjoys showing everyone that his name and the number one are on the back!
Today was a momentous day for Roberto, a day some doctors predicted would never come. Today Roberto graduated from Pre-K with a program where he sang his heart out. I was so proud, he brought tears to my eyes, if only you all could have seen him.
Roberto is a young boy with Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis (CIPA), a genetic disorder preventing him from feeling pain or regulating his body temperature. He needs your help to raise awareness and money for his disorder.
