“With great power comes great responsibility.” Yes, I just quoted Ben Parker from Spiderman because it couldn’t be far from the truth. Though I may be no superhero I cherish the influence I have achieved as a blogger. If there is anyway I want to
influence my followers its to do positive deeds and help others in need. That’s why I began “Lazos de Amor” an initiative that has united influencers to make a positive difference in Puerto Rico.
This past weekend a few of Puerto Rico’s best influencers visited the children’s shelter “Hogar Cuna San Cristobal”. This shelter cares for children within the ages of months to 8 years. Each child has suffered through a traumatic and abusive experience. Children are the most precious and innocent beings. It completely disgusts me that people who abuse and abandon them exist.
During our visit, we played with these little angels and provided them many with gifts. The children’s smiles and laughter were priceless.
If I could spend my life making others happy through their pain and struggles I’d say I’ve accomplished my life’s mission. There is no greater satisfaction then helping others especially children. We all go through hard situations and if I were to describe the difficult situations I’m currently living through you probably wouldn’t believe me. I’ve made a promise to myself that nothing would fade my smile. The truth is that no matter what we go through there are others struggling through worse.
I want to thank all of the bloggers and influencers who helped and participated in this special initiative. I also want to thank Walmart, 20th Century Fox (Trolls), Banana Boat Kids, and Dulzura Borincana for providing their donations. Below I’ve left pictures of this incredible experience including the Walmart Shopping spree with La Shoppinista Stephanie Li where we bought many donations for the children. Stay posted for the next event because there are many more to come!
Be You, Be Lovely
