Hello

As some of you may know Armando"s father suffered a serious stroke earlier this year in September.

Armando rushed to Italy to help - both with caring for his Dad as well as to keep an eye on the farm - as his mother spent most of the time at the hospital and there was no one to take care of it.

Apart from great emotional stress, this also is causing obvious financial strain for the whole family - his father is still in hospital as his recovery is being very difficult. Moreover Armando had to leave his full time job in London to go and help his family.

Like probably many of you did, we felt like we wanted to help somehow and just needed a way to do it.

We all know Armando can be a massive pain in the ass :-) but we also know what a good friend he can be.
We all have been to his house, danced at his parties and drunk his drinks.

So now is the time to say big thank you and at the same time support Mastrogiovannis as much as we can!

It's not only about money either.
For them to know that there is a lot of people who care for them and want to help would be a happy thought in those difficult times.

So please, help out by givng whatever you can afford.

Thank you and all the best!

After 30 days when our fundraising is over we will transfer all the money to Armando's account.

One good thing about me taking so long to start this thing is that in 30 days it will be time for Christmas! :-) Nice little present for them I think.
