Feedback

"I can't tell you how proud I felt when I saw the concert. I have two special needs children at home and I do know first hand what certain challenges life entails for myself and my children. To see Liyana perform made me feel like 'Yes,this is what life is about!' When I went back to school, I had a discussion with my class on what they felt about the concert, and their response was 'THEY WERE AMAZING!' Thank you for giving us the opportunity to see first hand what life really is about."
Ms. Cohn, teacher, Corpus Christi
