“… if that’s what it takes for a happy ending …”. What a powerful, hopeful, gritty vision, Lidia and her ballpoint pen and her commitment …

What a wonderful conversation you will have with her up ahead, Pablo. Gracias.

Absolutely heartbroken for this family. DHS fills me with rage, the good kind. Babies, two & sixteen months old growing up in a concentration camp is abhorrent. Lidia is an angel, we need many more like her. I’ve followed you for a while Pablo, becoming a paid subscriber now along with donating to the go fund me.

I put off reading this for two days because I thought it would be more bad news, and my heart just couldn't. When I read the part about the GoFundMe, I burst into tears. I'm still crying. Even worse than witnessing suffering is feeling helpless to stop it.

Thank you, Pablo and thank you Lidia. I will go to the go fund me. And Pablo, I will pay to subscribe. I pray for a good outcome for Juan and the family.

She is the example that every reporter should follow. Not just a story to be on the TV and have fame. Following a family in every story she has cover, she has shown the world that behind the breaking news is a family that has suffered and had felt the news. Since Uvalde Lidia has been a voice for the people that need a guide towards their own future. Thanks to her… a huge angel and reminder for everyone that works in this media. She has reminded me why we need the media and the news, to show us what we can not see…

THANK YOU!💕💕💕 for letting us know what happened to them!

Congress has thrown BILLIONS💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

to DHS, and CONGRESS has let 70,000 people be imprisoned in Concentration camps where they are abused tortured. Look what they have done to this family!

😡😠😡😠😠😠😡

TIME TO OBJECT!!

If Congress does something even partly correct, then POTUS changes it.

Our system ISN'T WORKING.

NEED NEW SPEAKER!

It is A START!!

😠😡😠😡😠😡😠
