Hello, my name is Mariano Busca. However, this is not about me, this about my mother who a few days ago lost almost everything she had. 

My mother, now 67 years old, is a person who has not had an easy life. She is an artist who makes jewelery and sells it on the street for a living. She worked really hard through the years to give my brother and I a dignified life. Because of the circumstanes of life, the crisis in 2008 drove her to loose everything she had saved for her retirement and is now obligated to work hard every day, at her age,  to meet her monthly living expenses. 

As I mentioned on the beginning, few days ago somethign terrible happened. Her apartment, the only thing that she had to her name, caught fire destroying everything inside. Not only she lost all of her priceless memories, and all of her furniture, she's lost her means of work. She is an artist who makes jewelery at her house and sells it on the street. She has no money and no way to get back on her feet.

Because she had no insurance, this is all out of pocket. I am giving everything I can to help, but unfortunately the expenses are way too high and will not cover for much of whats needed. 

The money raised here will be user to help her rebuild her house, buy some furniture, and buy the tools and materials so she can get back to work. 

I can't realy express with words how important this is for me. I am eternally thankful with her for giving me life and for leaving hers on the side to raise me and my brother, and it kills me that I am unable to pick up the tab for her. 

Your help whatever it is will mean the world to me and will give hope someone who has just lost everything she had.
