 lla.&nbsp\; This special benefit will be held at Crystals Restaurant loc

 om 7pm to 12. It will be a night of Dinner and Dancing with a 5 hr Open

 lip\;\nMy name is Bella\, the daughter of Carla and Joseph Benetatos. My
  dad\, Joe\, is a life long resident of Hoboken. I just turned 8 years o
 ld along with my twin sister\, Gabbi. I WAS BORN A PERFECTLY NORMAL LITT
 LE GIRL. On March 3\, 2008 my parents received the&nbsp\;news that I was
  diagnosed with Rett Syndrome\, a rare and incurable\, physically disabl
 ing\, and neurological disorder.&nbsp\; It reversed all I learned as an 
 infant &amp\; left me unable to speak or use my hands&hellip\; silent\, 
 trapped inside a world of my own with no means of communication. Sign la
 nguage is not an option for me because my brain signals cannot control m
 y hands.&nbsp\; In most cases\,&nbsp\;girls with Rett&nbsp\;are confined
  to wheel chairs\, have seizures\, scoliosis\, heart problems\, feeding 
 tubes\, and many more&nbsp\;horrible symptoms. Being that I can still wa
 lk\, I am considered one of the "LUCKY ONES".\nMy parents took me to mos
 t amazing Neurologist and Rett&nbsp\;specialist\, Dr. Alexandra Djukic\,
  at&nbsp\;the Rett Syndrome Center at Montefiore Children&rsquo\;s Hospi
 tal. She tested&nbsp\;me on a new eye gaze technology computer&nbsp\;cal
 led the MyTobii that actually reads MY eye gaze!!&nbsp\; I would be able
  to communicate my thoughts\, feelings\, wants and needs again by lookin
 g at objects on the computer screen.&nbsp\; However\, this computer is e
 xtremely expensive. Prudential Professionals Realty has graciously offer
 ed to sponsor this benefit to help raise money to purchase a MyTobii and
  make communicating a reality for me.&nbsp\; It would truly be a dream c
 ome true for me &amp\; my family.\nMy mommy had to write this letter for
  me today. But\, with your help\, I pray that one day I will be able to 
 speak to you all by myself.\nTO PURCHASE TICKETS CONTACT:\nLISA SCIRICA\
