Elexia, left, and Alexia Batista, right, both have Down syndrome and are on the autism spectrum. The 4-year-old identical twins can’t talk or hear, but on a recent afternoon, their mother, Ingrid, center, spoke a steady stream of affirmations to them. “They may not understand the words I say, but I think they can still feel what I say,” she said. Ingrid, 31, faces numerous challenges as a single mother raising disabled twins. Money is tight. The girls’ diets are limited to soft foods because of digestion problems. They are frequently ill. Ingrid hopes that an ear operation might restore their hearing someday. In the meantime, she often dresses the twins in matching outfits, sometimes adding a bow. “I just want the world to see them as the princesses they are,” she said. “Because they are my princesses.” @cinthyasantosb photographed Ingrid and her daughters, Elexia and Alexia, at the family’s apartment in Washington Heights. | @cathcharitiesny, one of the 8 organizations supported by the @ニューヨーク・タイムズ Neediest Cases Fund, helped Ingrid pay her utility bill and buy diapers and clothes for her daughters.
