Let’s all help Artur, the Brazilian kid who needs medical treatment in Pittsburgh. His family all came from Petrolina, Brazil and are now living at the Ronal McDonald’s House in Shadyside. Mr. Idario Santos is the father. Because of Artur’s illness they have to be in Pittsburgh for 1 year. We all can help with giving Idario a job, or helping him with donations. His recommendation letters are in Portuguese but he speaks English very well. Interview with newspaper Tribune-Review
