Rádio Cultura de Lavras bids farewell this Sunday (8), with deep sorrow, to Simone Maria Monteiro, a Lavras resident who mobilized the city in a chain of solidarity and hope.
Simone received reporter Gabriel Dinali at her home, where she told him her story and spoke about her fight against cancer. She also visited the Rádio Cultura studios, where she shared part of her journey with listeners and her hope of continuing treatment.
The station embraced her cause and launched a fundraising campaign to help her pay for an urgent surgery that cost approximately R$ 35 mil. Thanks to the solidarity of many people, the amount was reached.
Simone's story touched many hearts and showed the strength of the community's unity in Lavras.
To her family and friends, Rádio Cultura de Lavras 96.5 FM extends its deepest condolences. May God comfort everyone's hearts in this moment of grief.
