Help Luca Rebuild After Devastating Valencia Floods

My name is Sabina and I’m raising funds to support my dear friend and former colleague, Luca. I met Luca during our time at Starwood Hotels & Resorts in Cork, Ireland. Known for his kindness and dedication, he was always the first to lend a hand. Over time, our connection grew, and I was lucky enough to visit his home in Sardinia where I experienced firsthand the warmth and hospitality of his family—a memory I hold close.

In recent years, Luca embarked on a new journey in Valencia, Spain, building a beautiful life with his family and opening an Italian restaurant that brought the warmth and charm of his heritage to the community. His efforts went far beyond just serving excellent food; Luca poured his heart into his restaurant, contributing to Valencia’s vibrant culinary scene and enriching the lives of locals and visitors alike.

Tragically, the recent catastrophic floods in Valencia have taken away everything Luca and his family worked so hard to build. Their home and their belongings were all impacted, leaving them with an overwhelming task of starting from scratch. Amid unstable conditions and limited access to essentials, they face daily challenges as they begin their journey of recovery.

How Funds Will Be Used:

The funds raised here will be used to help Luca and his family rebuild their home, covering essential renovations, furnishings, and the basic necessities that families need to feel safe and comfortable again. Every contribution will go directly toward supporting them in reclaiming stability and normalcy.

As part of the #StarwoodProud family, I’m reaching out to our network and beyond to support Luca during this challenging time. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly to helping him rebuild his life and continue his contributions to the Valencian community he loves so much. Let’s come together to help Luca and his family find hope and stability once again.

How Luca Will Receive the Funds:

Luca, as the designated beneficiary, will have direct access to the funds raised through this GoFundMe campaign. Once donations are received, GoFundMe allows for a secure transfer directly to Luca’s bank account. This ensures that every dollar/euro donated goes straight to him and his family, providing immediate support for their rebuilding efforts.

Funds will be deposited in stages, allowing Luca to cover essential expenses as they arise, from initial renovations and furnishings to ongoing daily needs. GoFundMe’s secure withdrawal process is in place to ensure transparency and to protect both donors and the beneficiary.
