Being With Them For My Birthday - Priceless!
Ana Maria immigrated to the United States to seek better opportunities for the two young children she left behind in Guatemala. Coming from a tight loving family, Ana says that maintaining the special bond of family is one of her most important priorities. Moreover, one of the major traditions in her family has been to celebrate their birthdays together.
Therefore, as her first birthday away from those she cared the most about was approaching, she wondered if there was a way to keep their yearly tradition alive. As Ana searched for an option, a close friend told her about Amigo Live, AmigoLatino’s live family video conferencing service in Los Angeles, where she could see her kids again. So Ana immediately called to learn about the service and scheduled an appointment. When the day of her birthday finally came, she was able to enjoy the unique experience of a virtual reunion, filled with happiness and excitement, where the whole family from Guatemala, including her two kids, celebrated and serenaded her with a song of “Las Mañanitas“.
How do you feel after seeing your kids live?
It was an incredible and fulfilling experience to be able to see them and to share together my birthday with them. It gave me warmth to my heart being able to know that they are growing healthy and are receiving everything they need from my efforts of working here in the U.S.
Do you think this conference will make your family bonds stronger?
Definitely!! I was able to see that my kids were behaving properly just like I taught them now that they live with my mother. I can also check on them and see how they are doing in school, if they are getting everything I send them once in a while. I can also show them that they have a mother that cares for them more than anything else and that soon we will be together again.
In a scale of 1-10 how would you rate the experience?
A perfect 10!! Seeing my kids in real time, smiling, laughing! That is the best birthday present I can ask for. This is priceless and I will definitely be back to share more birthdays together through this wonderful service
