The young woman’s mother, who lives in Macapá, cannot come to say goodbye to her daughter, who will be buried in Chapeco in the coming days.

According to family friends, a round-trip air ticket for the mother costs about 10,000 reais, a very large sum considering the family’s financial situation. In addition, expenses for the funeral of a young woman are provided.

To help Maria Leopoldina’s mother fulfill her last wish to see her daughter, friends created an online fundraising campaign and provided a bank account to accept donations of any amount.

For anyone who can contribute to this cause, the family has provided a PIX key:

• (96) 9 9180 – 5451 — mobile phone key
