Went from garbage collection to being a model quoted in Brazil

The story of a young Brazilian woman caused a tremendous stir in the South American country and the world. This is Ana dos Santos Cruz, 23, who had to resort to looking for food in the garbage in order to survive and feed her son and today begins a career as a model. Now known as the “Brazilian Cinderella,” Ana dos Santos’ life took an unexpected turn after a stroke of luck. Being the mother of a 3-year-old boy, she had to search through waste for her son’s daily food since she was unemployed and his father was imprisoned. In one of her many daily searches, Ana found a wallet and, inside, some checks drawn for the Barretos Cancer Hospital in Brazil for an amount of approximately 52 thousand dollars. The young woman decided to find the owner of the wallet who, surprised, would greatly appreciate her finding and delivery since the checks were still valid. The director of the hospital said that the checks would have been delivered along with the wallet that had been stolen days before. In gratitude to the young woman, she was given a makeover and was hired to be part of the advertising campaign of a well-known shopping center. After that, she was formally hired by an agency and today she is one of the most requested models by different Brazilian companies. You may be interested in reading: Ana dos Santos Cruz said that she will invest in her education, starting the university career as a nurse that allows her to provide a better quality of life to her young son.
