Meet our team of Birthday Card Moms and Kids

Hello! My name is Ramona Martinez. My son is Felipe who is 4 years old. Felipe is a super loving child who was diagnosed with non-verbal autism a year ago. We enjoy walking and getting to know parks. We both love it so much! Felipe is my only son and in our family we did not know much about Autism. I am learning a lot through him. I enjoy visiting with parents who have more experience than me. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this amazing group of individuals who sends Birthday Cards across the USA!
