Help Mauricio Write His Inspiring Life Story

To my followers, friends & loved ones,

As some of you might know, this time of grief is already mysterious & painful by nature. And although it has been extremely difficult & challenging, it also has been a time filled with love, family & prayer here in my homeland.

The sudden passing of my beloved sister Barbara (Babby) has left us all with a broken heart but we’re grateful to have so many beautiful memories together that will help us all stay strong & together.

I can’t go back to work & to my life in NY just yet. So I’ve decided to take the rest of the year off to be with my mother, my other sister and my nephews & grand nieces & nephews in Spain, by the ocean. I need this time of introspection to disconnect, be with my loved ones, surrounded by nature and, as the late Carrie Fisher once said: “take my broken heart…and turn it into art.”

I have been so moved & inspired these past weeks, that I believe it is time to write my life story. Well, at least, my life story until now. I’ve decided to start writing my “First Act”, if you will, and I need this “Intermission” in order for me to come back stronger for my “Second Act” next year.

This is a book (and audiobook - with music) that I’ve been planning to write and have been postponing for some time now, due to the ever changing and oh, so challenging nature of a performer’s life in New York City.

But I can’t do this alone. I need your help. Many people might think that being “famous” and being on tv & signing autographs at the stage door equals being financially rich. And, although that might be true for some, the reality is that it isn’t my reality. I am rich in many other ways, and for that I am eternally grateful. I have been very blessed with health after four battles vs cancer and I thank God for having food on my table & savings that can sustain me for a couple of months without work.

But in order for me to write this book, that I know will inspire so many readers, (and of which I intend to donate all proceeds of sales once it’s published, to give art scholarships to children in financial need), and record the album that I feel in my heart & my soul will be the “musical accompaniment” of my life’s story, I kindly ask for your help.

No amount is big or small. And if you can’t donate, you can also help me by spreading the word or by simply saying a prayer & sending me & my family love and light. That, too, will be greatly appreciated.

Please know that by donating for this project, you will forever be a part of the angels that helped me make this life dream come true…and I will make sure to print, honor & include your name in both the book & album.

I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

With love & gratitude,

Mauricio
