My name is Rigoberto Gaona. I was born with Cerebral Palsy. I'm also non verbal. I never givin' up on my dreams and my goals. When I moved from Mexico to L.A. I've achieved all my goals so far. From the strength God has givin' me. Some of these goals were my Marathon Racing and working out. Moving out to my own apartment with the help of Lanterman Regional Center. Soon after that God blessed me with my lovely wife and more family. Who I learned so much from. My wife Julie and I have been married for 13 years. We have a good marriage but my health has declined. Had a stroke in 2019 and developed Neuropathy. I'm thankful my wife and I are still together. And receive services from different agencies so we can stay in our home. I'm very thankful for all the people from the services that help us on a day-to-day basis. And I'm very thankful for my parents who taught me a lot, and made me the man I am today.
Thank You
