Costa Cruise lunch - thanks for coming!

It is really nice to see people from all over the world getting together to help raise money for Carlos's bone marrow transplant - if you didnt realize it before, I hope you realize now, how much You, Cibele and Julia mean to a lot of us- let us worry about raising money- because you need to be focusing all your energy on your physical health and resilience..you are in good hands... literally....

It is with great pleasure that we announce that HKD 32,700 ($ 4,192 USD) were raised at the Charity Costa Luncheon held this Friday and Saturday. We really could not have done it without the attendance & participation of all our friends & guests and we thank each and everyone of you for coming out and supporting us in this quest to raise even more funds for Carlos. It was a very warm feeling to see everyone enjoying themselves and all for a great cause. We were also happy to extend this day with the many children who joined us. Thank you also to Te, who donated 3 amazing prizes for our Auction and helped raise our funds even more. Thank you also to our friends at Ferregamo, Ferrari, MaxMara, Mandarin Oriental, Grand Hyatt, and Gaia Group as our guests really appreciated and loved their prizes.

While we all had smiling faces that day, please kindly note, that YOU Carlos were in our thoughts and prayers as you embark on this very diffucult journey. We are doing the easy part, now it is up to you to be strong and persevere. We all believe in miracles and moreover BELIEVE,... because WE ALL DO..

We also want to say that apart from the Luncheon, we are also selling Raffle tickets for a 4 night, 5 day cruise in Asia with Costa Cruises. The Brazilian community have really come together and done a great job in selling tickets. Most of the members were able to sell 20 or more tickets to friends and some have even outdone themselves by going door to door... As of to date, we have sold over 80,000 HKD (OVER 10,000 USD) worth of Raffles. Well done guys! May the gift of giving always guide our way, our truth and our lives.

With love & kindness,
Linda Torlöf & Alessandra Salles-Rustico
