“These two wonderful boys came from Angola and their biggest dream was to meet me… To do so, they crossed the city, slept on the street, at the door of my condominium with signs in their hands and when their story reached me, I remembered that it was these two who, when we needed prayer the most, went online with signs for me asking for Brazil and Angola to unite for Vera’s cure. So I didn’t think twice and went there to talk to them to thank them and I received so much love and affection from these two that I will never forget that moment. I made a sandwich for them, brought them water, chocolates and only received love in return… Their happiness was written all over their faces.
