The person in the middle of the picture is Hugo and I am his cousin. My mother has raised Hugo since birth she raised him as if he was her son. His biological father passed around 20 years ago and his biological mother suffers from schizophrenia so she was never really in his life. When Hugo turned 20 he also developed the disability his biological mother has! My mother and brothers we have all grew up watching him suffer in and out of the hospital unfortunately Hugo has had a difficult life and he now stays in a home where he is stable with his medication and has lost almost all his teeth.

The medi-cal will not covore his dentures and I am wanting to raise this money for Hugo just so we can see a smile again. People with schizophrenia do suffer from depression but they also have feelings and one thing that Hugo is insecure about is his teeth. Thankyou for taking the time to read Hugo's story!
