Saturday, April 11th: Car Wash For Elida

Dr. Ana introduces Elida's daughter Stephanie at a recent performance.


Dear Friends!

Our Parents in Action Committee is getting together to help one of our most dedicated volunteers. OCCTAC parent Elida has two children attending the center. Both her children are autistic. Her daughter has made such improvements that she is now singing opera in Italian, English and Spanish. Elida was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago. Despite her illness she has been supporting her children and our center tirelessly, working long hours at the center and at times walking a 3-mile roundtrip to get from her home to our center.
She has been there for us. We are trying to give back a little.

Please come to the CAR WASH FOR ELIDA. We are raising funds for her medical care.

Date: Saturday, April 11th starting at 8AM.
Location: the parking lot of the Service Employees International Union.
1516 N. Sycamore Street, Santa Ana, CA 92701, (behind the 99 Cent Store on Main Street at 15th Street.)
For more information, please contact Guillerma Bravo at (714) 568 1582.

El Sabado 11 de abril estaremos en el estacionamiento del Local del sindicato de los Janitors en 1516 N. Sycamore Santa Ana, CA 92701 (atras de la tienda 99 centavos de la Main y la 15 th St) lavando carros desde las 8 am para obtener fondos y seguir ayudando a Elida.
