Family hopes to host Quinceañera for girl as she battles illness
According to the local chapter of the League of United Latin American Citizens in an announcement: Youth member Erendida Becerra is very sick and has been in and out of hospitals. This summer she stayed at Lucille Packard Children’s hospital for quite some time. She has been involved with LULAC Youth Council No. 705 for two years now, helping at many events such as the Walk-n-roll. Her family would really like to have a small Quincianera for her on Nov. 30. LULAC would like to help, but is asking our community to help make Erendida’s wish come true on her 15th Birthday. Therefore, LULAC humbly seeks your help to make this happen for her.
