Natalia Ramirez is a mother of two young boys, she is a hard working, joyous woman who endears herself to everyone she encounters, and who has become an integral part of the UIC College of Dentistry. It is rare for us that work with her to ever see her without an ear-to-ear smile on her face. And now, she needs our help. Natalia is currently fighting for her life after being the victim of gunshot wounds, in another senseless act of violence in the Chicagoland area. Her and her family need us, so please consider donating any amount you can, in the hopes that her two boys, Julius and Alexander, can soon see their mom smile again.

Thank you to all those who donated! These funds will help Julio Martinez, the father of Julius and Alexander. Natalia is smiling knowing that her boys are so loved.
