Hi everyone!

I am Idario Santos, married to my wonderful Soraya Carvalho; we have two amazing kids – Vinicius and Artur. Together we are the Santos Family.

In 2004 we found doctors in the U.S. who could provide a cure for MSUD, a rare disease that was threatening our youngest son’s life. In 2005 my family left our home in Brazil and moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Ever since, we have been living in this amazing city.

The book is now available. By reading our history, you will become part of our odyssey and will be saving lives 50% of the proceeds from all sales benefits the Clinic for Special Children.

Idario Santos
