\n\t\u201cDuring this time, I am humbled to bring our Latino communities together to share their stories and support one another on this sacred holiday. We are stronger together,\u201d offered Lopez, founder of Cura Lita<\/a>. \u201cWe are honored to recognize Mercedes Rodriguez with this year\u2019s Abuelita Award.
