Now the Somoza family is fundraising to ensure there is enough money to hire two personal care assistants for Anastasia’s studies.
So far they have raised over $17,540 towards the cost of financing.
"We need much more than $30,000,” said Mary. "Every time we look on the website and it’s jumped up, we are all so excited.
“It’s like everything we have encountered in our fight to get the girls’ education over the years. At the time the problems seem insurmountable, however you have to do it.”
