Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to you all today because my cousin’s husband, Luis, and his family are facing a very difficult moment. As many of you know, Luis, his wife, and their 6-year-old son Lucas have been working hard to build a better life, but circumstances in Brazil have made it impossible for them to stay. They dream of starting over in Portugal, where they hope to find safety, stability, and new opportunities for their son.

Right now, they are in a time of desperation. The cost of relocating is overwhelming, and they simply do not have the resources to purchase plane tickets and cover the basic expenses needed to begin this new chapter. Luis and his family are determined to work hard and make the most of this opportunity, but they need a helping hand to get there.

I am asking if we can come together as family and friends to support them. No amount is too small, and every bit helps get them closer to a fresh start. Your generosity will help them reach a safer place and give Lucas the chance to grow up in a more secure environment. If you are able to help, we truly appreciate it. Let’s do what we can to support this wonderful family as they take this brave step forward.

With love and gratitude, Rita Neves
