After almost seven years, we are planning a trip for our daughters to physically meet their grandmothers and relatives in São Tomé and England. This campaign aims to raise funds for their airfare.

After almost seven years without being reunited with our family in São Tomé and England, we have decided that now is the time to take an important step to strengthen family ties. Our two daughters, aged 6 and 8, have never had the opportunity to physically meet their grandmothers, whom they love so much and with whom they only communicate via video calls.

This campaign was born from the desire to provide them with something very special: the warm embrace of their grandmothers, the time spent with their uncles, aunts and cousins, and the discovery of their family stories and roots. It is a journey that will mark their lives forever, creating unforgettable memories and offering them the opportunity to understand the importance of family and their origins.

The goal is simple: to raise the funds needed to pay for our family's airfare (two adults and two children). We will cover our own accommodation and food expenses, as we will be staying with family members. The trip is scheduled for the European summer of 2025, when everyone will be able to get together.

The support of each of you, however small or large, will make a huge difference in making this dream come true.

About the author

This campaign is promoted by a family who believes in the power of family connections and the importance of creating moments that strengthen bonds between generations. As parents, our greatest desire is to give our daughters the opportunity to meet their grandmothers and create memories that will last a lifetime.

We are organizing this trip with great care and planning, but the plane tickets represent a significant cost for us. Therefore, we decided to resort to crowdfunding, counting on the support of friends, family and everyone who believes in the value of family.

Budget and due dates

Budget:

Airline Tickets
Cost for 2 adults and 2 children (round trip Luanda – São Tomé – England): €3,000
Total: €3,000

Schedule:

January – March 2025: Campaign publicity and fundraising.
April 2025: Closing of the campaign and purchase of airline tickets.
June – July 2025: Preparation for the trip (documentation, logistics).
July 21 – August 21, 2025: Travel and family reunion in São Tomé and England.


This is our estimate of how the money raised will be spent and the timeline to ensure everything goes according to plan.
