Last night, a severe storm in Portugal has caused serious damage to my brother's circus and the place they call home. They live and work on the road, in caravans and vans, with the circus not just being their livelihood but their home. The storm caused devastating damage—caravans and vans were smashed, equipment destroyed, and much of what they own is now ruined. In a matter of hours, they lost the basic things they rely on to live, travel, and keep the circus alive.

This family circus isn’t just a job. It’s a way of life built on hard work, passion, and bringing joy to communities wherever they go. My brother and his family have always worked tirelessly to support themselves, and they have never been people who ask for help. To be completely honest, if you know us as a family, you would know that we would normally hate to ask. But right now, we are desperate.

The funds raised here will go directly toward repairing damaged caravans and vans, replacing essential equipment, and helping them get back on their feet after this sudden disaster. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference and help restore some stability after such a heartbreaking loss.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would also mean the world to us.

We lost our father on New Year's Day 2026, so we are already going through a lot as a family. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for reading, for caring, and for any support you’re able to give during this incredibly difficult time ❤️
