At the age of one, he had a terrible accident: a pot of boiling water fell on his face.
By a miracle, he survived after spending seven months in the hospital.
Despite this ordeal, he managed to overcome all the obstacles to do what he loves most, play football.
A few months ago, he participated in a tournament in front of scouts, and his talent impressed Botafogo so much, they decided to sign him.
He’s an inspiration and a reminder to us all, to always keep pushing when all hope seems lost
