Since they found out that the boys were chosen for the competition, Doña Rosa and her family have sold tamales, donuts and have held raffles, but they have not yet managed to collect all the money.
Each one must travel with 1,550 dollars (about 796,700 colones at the exchange rate); that is, $3,100 (approximately 1,593,400 colones) to cover the costs of plane tickets, lodging and food on the island. They barely have $900 and time is against them.
For this reason, Doña Rosa appeals to the good will of the Tico, to see if they can finish raising what they need. If you wish to make your donation, you can make a mobile sinpe to 6011-6945, in the name of Eithan Chacón.
