I hope this letter reaches you in good spirts. As stated in my previous letter that I anticipated you had time to read I expressed many concerns about Betsy DeVos.

We, Jesús Portillo y Maria Hernandez, the parents Adriana Portillo, are writing this letter with the purpose of you granting forgiveness to our daughter. If the forgiveness isn’t granted, Efrain Nañez would be devastated. Also, they have 2 children, Sulema and Alexis Nañez; their hopes would be decimated without their mother, whom has accompanied the all their lives. We would not be able to help him in any way because of our old age and our illnesses cannot aid Efrain Nañez economically or with his children. We truly hope that you may grant this wish: her forgiveness.
