While they were performing a cesarean section on his mother, the power went out in the hospital, explained his father Ricardo in an interview for Telemundo: “As a result of the lack of electricity, everything is in the dark, he had three respiratory cardiac arrests. He died in 20 seconds, then 25, 22 seconds. “Then he was in a coma for 28 days.”
“At the age of 18 days they told me: ‘Sign the papers, he’s brain dead, there’s nothing we can do.’ We live with a lot of pain, as if thinking there is no solution, but we keep believing because things can be different,” said the man.
When they brought her home, the little girl did not move the left side of her body and could not raise her head on her own, however, they began to “stimulate her five senses in deep and deep and he began to answer. ”
Her parents decided to immigrate to the Dominican Republic when Elizabeth was three and a half years old. There he started studying in preschool, but he had learning problems and was even bullied by other children.
“They told me that I’m “ugly, fat and I don’t walk normally, that I don’t behave normally. And why am I not at the same level as my other classmates. I’ve had more female harassment than male. Then it got louder, they entered the bathroom and turned off the light,” he recalled in the interview Telemundo.
Elizabeth’s life changed when her parents discovered that she had a natural talent, a unique voice that she developed until she graduated from college in 2016, specializing in vocal music.
