This is a long email. I really need you to read the entire thing -- and then consider donating $19 to my campaign before tomorrow's End of Month Deadline. >> [link removed]

At the debates, my message resonated with America. I know why.

Like many I have a lot to be thankful for today. My life hasn't always been easy, and I know yours hasn't either. I understand the struggle real people in this country face.

I watched my grandmother clean other people's houses for a living. She never got past the 4th grade. She came here from Mexico when she was seven, rolled up her sleeves, and worked 20-hour days to give us a better life.

My mom was a single mom. She experienced first-hand that gut-wrenching feeling of not being able to put food on the table when my brother and I were little. I felt guilty when I got sick because it meant that my family would be crushed under bills from the doctor.

I know what it feels like to be from an immigrant family, in a neighborhood that doesn't have much privilege. I grew up in one.

Here is the bottom line -- I get what a lot of American families are going through this Thanksgiving because I've lived it:

I know how much equal pay would have meant for my mom -- that's why I stood up for it at the debates.

I see my grandmother in the images of the babies separated from their parents at the border -- that's why I created a humane immigration plan.

I see my childhood neighborhood when I go to Flint, Michigan and hear about kids living without drinking water -- that's why I have a plan to eliminate lead poisoning.

I see my son and daughter in the faces of children without access to quality education -- that's why I'm fighting for universal pre-K for all.

I promise you this: I will always -- always -- fight for you. And I need you to fight for me today.

If you want to keep me in this race and help me build a sustainable campaign that's in it for the long haul, I need you right now. My End of Month Deadline is in tomorrow, and it's a critically important moment for me.

Would you please consider rushing in $19 to support me and help me hit my critical End-of-Month Fundraising Deadline? >> [link removed]

Thank you,
