Let's help & support Carlos and his Family

Donation protected
Hi Everyone,
My name is Chloe and I'm the Latin dance partner and co-owner of a Latin dance festival with Carlos Redondo. We both are professional Latin dance instructor who have been teaching and working together for the last 8 years. We both currently live and work in Brisbane Australia. We work together full-time 5 days a week at Paradizo School of Latin dance in Brisbane and are contacted to teach in festivals and events promoting Latin dance all over the world.

On the 24th of December 2023, Carlos, while on holidays in Tenerife (Spain) for Christmas, was viciously attacked on the street and was stabbed in his chest and shoulder and survived open heart surgery.

As you can imagine, this is a terrible tragedy for this family and loved ones and we would like to raise funds to help ease financial pressures, especially around this time of year.

Our goal is to help ensure he has support for his long term rehabilitation, as well as out of pocket aftercare for him. Orthopedic devices such as braces, supports or any bandages.

To support him and his family financially whilst they are away from home to be with him until he can be approved to travel back to Barcelona which will approximately be two weeks. This includes food, accommodation, car hire cost, taxis and return flights.

To assist Carlos with his living costs in Spain and Australia (such as rent and bills) during his recovery whilst he is unable to work and also cover loss of income during this time. Recovery time for this is approximately 3-4 months for the sternum to heal before going back to physical activity. Teaching will be restricted until he regains the full capacity of movement, which will limit what classes he can teach and the level.

This will also cover loss of income from the cancellation of contracts outside of the dance school, as we teach at festivals.

When Carlos is allowed to travel 30+ hours to Australia, it will be used towards flights back to Australia.

Out of pocket expenses that may include (if not included) private trauma psychology and physiotherapy and personal training to regain full mobility and strength to continue his work as a professional instructor.

Even the smallest amount makes all of the difference.

Thank you for anything you can provide.
