Hi, my name is Rafael and I am trying to raise funds to help my sister Michelle and her family.

Today (2nd of October 2025) her house caught fire due to faulty wiring in her bedroom and she, her husband and their three kids lost everything. Everything they owned has been turned into ashes.

Unfortunately, many of their possessions were sentimental and are irreplaceable, but we are all grateful that Michelle and her family are physically safe, though their pets are still missing.

This gofundme aims to help my sister start the journey of rebuilding her family’s home. Any help, whether it is a donation, sharing this, or words of support, will truly be appreciated.

For transparency:

I live in The Netherlands and I am organizing this gofundme on her behalf. Since gofundme does not support withdrawals to Brazil, I will transfer all funds directly to my sister. I am only acting as a facilitator, and this arrangement is fully allowed within gofundme's ToS.
