Profile Picture

Vanusa and her family lived in a very cozy house together in Ponta Grossa, Brazil. While she was growing up, she was bubbly and had such a warm laughter until her mother became ill and passed away when Vanusa was eleven years old. Her dad tried picking up the pieces by trying to fill the empty space his daughter was feeling. No one could imagine that only a few years later, when Vanusa was sixteen, that another terrible heartache would happen. Her father was diagnosed with cancer and eventually passed away as well. Now she was alone, not knowing what would happen to her.
