Some great news and update to everyone who has supported Amanda's fundraiser. She received her surgery yesterday and came home from the hospital today. Understandably she is uncomfortable but in good spirits and the procedure was 100% successful and with no complications.

Obviously out of respect for her I don't want to share any photographs when she is a little vulnerable and in pain but she has promised to do a video update in the coming weeks personally thanking everybody for their support

Thanks to your incredible kindness and generosity, we have reached our target of €9000! 🙏

Amanda will pay the hospital today, and her surgery is confirmed for September 20th. This is an amazing achievement, and we cannot thank you enough for your support.

Amanda will have about one month of recuperation, and we’ll share an update video once she has recovered.

From the bottom of our hearts – thank you! ❤️

Amanda urgently needs surgery on September 20th, but the hospital requires full payment by September 13th.

Thanks to an incredible €1000 donation, we’re now so much closer – only €2300 left to raise!

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference. Thank you so much for your kindness and support. ❤️

🚨 Urgent Update on Amanda’s Fundraiser 🚨

Amanda Alves has been diagnosed with breast cancer, and her surgery is booked for September 20th. The good news is the cancer is localized — if operated on now, the survival rate is over 99%.

But here’s the urgent part: the surgery must be paid in advance, and we only have 7–10 days left to raise the remaining €2,850.

Amanda is a fit, healthy single mum to her 10-year-old daughter Bia, who depends on her for everything, including homeschooling. Time is critical.

🙏 Please help us reach the €6,000 goal by donating and sharing this post. Every contribution counts, and the quicker we spread the word, the sooner Amanda can get the life-saving surgery she needs.

Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness 💕

We’re halfway there! 💖

So far, €3,149 out of €6,000 has been raised for Amanda’s surgery, which is now booked for the 20th. That means we still need to raise €2,850 in the next 10 days.

The generosity so far has been incredible — from donations of €5 right up to €500. Thank you to everyone who has helped us get this far! 🙏

But we can’t stop now. Please, if you haven’t donated yet, consider doing so today. Every single euro brings us closer. And if you can’t donate, you can still make a huge difference by sharing this post to help spread the word. 💕

👉 Donate here: www.4fund.com/5zjh8a

Together, we can make this happen. Thank you all for your love and support!

🚨 Halfway There — But Time is Running Out! 🚨

👉 https://4fund.com/5zjh8a

We’ve raised €3,000 of the €6,000 needed for Amanda’s urgent treatment. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far 🙏 — but with only a couple of weeks left, we need your help more than ever.

Amanda and Bia can’t do this alone. Every euro, every share, every bit of support brings us closer to the finish line. 💙

📽️ Watch the video and see the photos of Amanda and Bia. Then please act now: donate if you can, and share this post so it reaches as many people as possible.

Let’s get Amanda the treatment she desperately needs — before it’s too late.
