“There’s multiple times during the day when I well up with tears because of the unknown,” Hernandez admits. “(But) this situation has given me a deep appreciation for the people that I love and the simple things in life. And has also helped me to hold on to my faith and know that no matter what happens, I can and will pull through.”
All of his shows for the year have been canceled due to the pandemic and he is thankful for fans that have sent him donations during his previous streaming shows.
“Without their help, I do not know where I would be,” he says.
