# Help Miguel 🤘

**TL;DR**
Miguel is a 5-year-old boy born with several limb deficiencies, yet he is a HUGE fan of skateboarding and radical sports.
Our goal is to help Miguel obtain a prosthesis to enhance his quality of life and enable him to participate in more sports. We will document this journey with Pedro Quintas, a high-tier skate athlete in Brazil with over 200k followers.

## **About Miguel**
Even before Miguel took his first breath, fate had already dealt him a challenging hand. His father's departure left a void that would shape his journey, but it was the very beginning that foreshadowed a life marked by unique struggles.
As Andressa, Miguel's resilient mother, faced the first ultrasound, an unsettling truth unfolded—the ominous revelation of her unborn child's imminent physical challenges. The diagnosis confirmed a congenital condition that manifested as a complex set of malformations: absence of upper limbs, a shortened femur on the left side, and a complete absence of the femur on the right.
Miguel's story, however, transcends the boundaries of his physical limitations. It caught the attention of SBT, an open television channel that decided to share his inspiring journey with the world. A [video](https://youtu.be/Nlpz_SfypHE?si=yzW45REIkSeuV-7X), meticulously crafted to depict Miguel's indomitable spirit, is a testament to the strength found within the human will, a beacon of hope in the face of adversity.

Undeterred by the challenges that life threw his way, Miguel emerged not just resilient, but downright gnarly. Far from letting his physical limitations define him, he embraced life with infectious enthusiasm. Skateboarding, swimming, beach outings, and even the world of art – Miguel reveled in them all. His zest for life knows no bounds.
**Miguel + Skateboarding**
Miguel's passions and pursuits are vividly captured in his videos, offering a glimpse into a life filled with determination and joy. To experience the vibrant tapestry of his interests, one need only explore the collection of videos that showcase Miguel's indomitable spirit.
His story is a beacon of inspiration, demonstrating that adversity can be transformed into opportunities for growth and fulfillment.
Our collective aspiration is to recognize Miguel as a member of Gnars, a community that celebrates and empowers Persons with Disabilities (PwD). Through his unwavering positivity and resilience, Miguel becomes a pioneer, forging a path for others to follow.

## **Content Creation + Pedro Quintas**
Our aspiration is to forge a dynamic partnership with Pedro Quintas, collaborating to create compelling content featuring Miguel, showcasing Gnars as a community dedicated to supporting and celebrating people from all walks of life.
[Pedro Quintas](https://www.instagram.com/pedroquintas13/) embarked on his skateboarding journey at the tender age of 3, quickly earning the reputation of a prodigy. His ascent to the elite echelons of the sport culminated in representing Brazil in the inaugural Skateboarding Olympics.
At a mere 10 years old, Pedro astounded the skateboarding world by becoming the youngest Brazilian to execute a 540° trick, and by 11, he conquered the formidable Mega Ramp – setting unprecedented records. Presently engaged in the Olympic Qualification for Paris 2024, Pedro is tirelessly honing his skills for the global stage and concurrently crafting his next Video Part. Currently ranked number 4 in Brazil and 20 globally, Pedro's remarkable journey continues to inspire enthusiasts worldwide.
