Our Foundation also plays a critical role in supporting families that are impacted by D.I.P.G. By pulling together all of our resources to make dreams come true. Such is the case when the founder of the Cristian Rivera Foundation, Allen is an 8 year old boy who was diagnosed with D.I.P.G. Just like most children his age, he loves The Power Rangers and his dream was to meet his favorite Power Ranger- the Blue Power Ranger. John contacted the CEO of The Little Kernel Popcorn Company, Andy Epstein. He also contacted Craig Serra who also serves as a board of directors for The Cristian Rivera Foundation & “JOINED FORCES” with Robert Vazquez, a Cristian Rivera committee member, and Like the Power Rangers, they all “JUMPED INTO ACTION” and started the process of making Allen’s wish come true. This past weekend The Cristian Rivera Foundation and After Allen met his favorite Blue Power Ranger here is what his family said- “Thank you CRF… Allen was sooo happy today when he met with Yoshi the Blue Dino Power Ranger… It made him speechless… He didn´t know how to speak anymore lol he was so shy and nervous that he forgot how to talk or move lol… We saw him yesterday at the Q & A but didn´t meet him yet… I didn´t know who Yoshi is until Allen point him out and say mom he´s the blue Dino power ranger.. I asked him how he know? He´s not him his costume?
