Armindo is from Ponte da Barca, is paraplegic, and has many dreams. One of them? Edit a book with poems of your own. It is intended here to help you realize this dream.

The campaign aims to raise money for the publication of a poetry book: Armindo's dream! In his poems, besides talking about love, he tells us the anguish of his condition, his difficulties, the prejudices associated with his image and possibilities. He feels an immense pain that he transcribes in his poems. In this sense, and since you can articulate and describe your pain and emotions very well, it is a remarkable first-person account of the plight of your poor condition and how important it is for others to feel what It is living like this. It is a remarkable contribution to all those in difficult situations. It emanates from his writings an unshakable force, a will to live that is hard to match. An example for those who complain about nothing. Funding is all for the organization, review, and publication of the book, as well as for its public presentation.

About the author

The promoter is Armindo himself, with the help of Pasquim da Vila (www.pasquimdavila.pt). It all started when Pasquim da Vila did a journalistic job about his condition. It can be viewed at: https://www.pasquimdavila.pt/2019/08/05/eventos/ Armindo is 39 years old. It is paraplegic. Lives in Nogueira, Ponte da Barca parish. Every day she travels to the village of Ponte da Barca to find people to talk to. Live a lonely but extremely lucid life. This is why it is so important to realize this dream.

Budget and due dates

 

The budget, worth 1700 euros, includes payment to a publisher for pagination, formatting, language review, cataloging and printing. It is intended to perform this follow-up of tasks in three months, with the presentation and release of the book for December 2019.
