The Venezuelan teens living at the La Ley Sports Complex to play baseball are going hungry, and their story does not seem to have gotten out past the spanish speaking community.  This story needs to get out to all of Homestead and Miami so that these kids will be fed.  Please watch the news story on Univision and look into it for yourself.  

 

Is the city of Homestead aware of what is going on, and if so what is being done to protect these kids and ensure they are properly fed and taken care of?  There is no excuse for children being malnourished and mistreated here in our city.

 

Thank you,
