Support Maria Valentina's Urgent Medical Needs

Hi, I’m Brunna, and I live in the United States. I’m originally from Brazil, and I’m using this platform to help someone very special to my family — my little niece, Maria Valentina.

I created this fundraiser because her parents live in Brazil and don’t have access to international fundraising tools like GoFundMe. So I’ve taken the responsibility of organizing everything from here in the U.S. to ensure every donation reaches her safely and quickly.

Now let me tell you about Maria’s story:

⸻

Maria Valentina Mendes Puppim was born with a rare condition called craniosynostosis, which causes skull deformities and can severely impact brain development if not treated early.

She urgently needs surgery to grow healthy and live without limitations.

The total cost of the procedure in Brazil is approximately R$70,000 (around $13,000 USD) — a cost her family simply cannot afford on their own.

We are raising funds to give Maria Valentina the chance at the healthy, full life she deserves.

Every donation — no matter the amount — will make a real difference.

All funds raised will go directly to Maria Valentina’s family in Brazil.

As her aunt and trusted contact here in the U.S., I will be personally handling all transfers to make sure the money gets to her family with complete transparency and care.

The surgery is time-sensitive, and the sooner we reach the goal, the better her chances of recovery and a bright future.

If you can’t donate now, please consider sharing this campaign with your friends.

You never know who might be in a position to help.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
