🇨🇻 A MOMENT FOR EMPATHY, RESPECT, AND PEACE.

This is my first video update since sharing the news about the tragedy in Fogo. Although starting a GoFundMe was never something I initially planned, we created one to support families affected by the tragic bus accident in Campanas de Cima. However, financial support is not the focus of this message.

My heart is deeply connected to this tragedy. I was born in Fogo, many of us are connected as family, and I am learning that I am related to several of the victims. One of my cousins also helped with the rescue efforts, making this even more personal for me.

These families need more than financial support. They need privacy, compassion, psychological care, and time to grieve. Please do not share graphic or distressing images. Let’s respect the victims, their families, the rescuers, and everyone affected. 🕊️

Thank you to the people of Fogo, the doctors, rescuers, government workers, friends, family, and everyone providing support.

Our GoFundMe has now reached more than $2,000. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. God bless. 🙏🏾

Once the first transfer reaches my bank account, we will send the first wave of support to Miguel Montrond through Western Union. Receipts and documentation will be shared as the funds are distributed.

If you have a direct and verified connection to an affected family, please consider helping them personally. Otherwise, our GoFundMe is available through the bios of @EDaSilvaOfficial and @caboverde.music. 🇨🇻🌋🫂

Every donation, share, prayer, and message matters. We will continue providing daily updates and showing where the money goes with full transparency.

The next video will be in Cape Verdean Creole and will explain everything in greater detail.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless the families, rescuers, medical teams, and people of Fogo.

Fogo di luto. Força, DjarFogo. 🕊️🇨🇻

Nós Povo. Nós Storia. Nós Orgulho. Nós Futuro. 🇨🇻
