Grant Recipient

​Dear Jolie and Victor,
Thank you, thank you, thank you—from the bottom of my heart—for granting me the opportunity to receive this micro grant from The Hispanic Community Resource Fund (HispanicCRF.org).  The laptop, protective lether case, headphones, and two external chargers are more than just equipment—they represent your unwavering support, generosity, and belief in people like me and the small businesses we fight so hard to grow. Your kindness has left me speechless and truly moved.
Since the challenges brought on by COVID-19, keeping my social media company afloat has been an uphill battle. Life hasn’t been easy—but this grant has renewed my strength and inspired fresh momentum for the second half of 2025.  What makes this even more meaningful is our longstanding connection. I’ve been honored to work, collaborate and volunteer with your organization for over a decade—supporting incredible events like the Cuban Sandwich Festival, the Taste of Latino Festival, and so many other community-driven initiatives that make a real difference.
​
Your trust in me—through this grant and through our years of working together—means more than I can ever express. I am proud to be part of the Hispanic CRF family and to witness firsthand how much you give back - and receiving this micro grant/gift feels like coming full circle.

With deep gratitude and love,
Joseph M. Si Media USA
May God continue to bless you both and the work you do.
