In total, R$2,5 million was allocated and the amounts met the demands of 66 units of the Chain across the State.

During the solemnity, Havan’s owner, Luciano Hang, praised the volunteer for the important work they do for so many women. “Last year, when we did the transfer for all the units of chain, I remember that Canelinha’s president had cry. I feel emotional, because she known that money was not from her, but recognizes that with this fund is possible to save lifes. That’s why I advocate so much that people should contribute, because we all always have something that can be donated. It’s not the volume that makes the difference, it’s the union of all. I’m very proud to be able to help such beautiful initiatives as this one”, he said.
