Story
Ricardo Scott Valentino Santana was 23 years old when he and a group of friends went on holiday to the south of Tenerife. On the 15/06/19 a day before we was meant to return home we went on a Jet Ski Safari with a company called "Jet Ski Racing". This company did not follow their legal obligations to keep us safe, which resulted in Ricardo drowning in the ocean. Despite a rescue team of helicopters, divers and boats actively searching for Ricardo for four continuous days, there was no sign of him. Now all that is left for friends and family to do is pray that one of these days he is found.
Due to the complications of this situation we are raising money for multiple reasons. Ricardo was a loving youth worker, who managed to turn his life around after having a rough childhood. Family and friends have now started the 'RVS Foundation', a charity that will help organise events for young children and youth to help keep them safe and educate them. The charity also collects clothes and donations that will then be distributed to specific charities that can best use them.
Although Ricardo is not with us now, friends and family still have hope and faith that one day he will be... Unfortunately due to none of us having travel insurance the money needed to bring him back home for a proper burial will be very expensive. This is also why we are raising money, to cover the legal costs of returning Ricardo home, the the legal fees of lawyers to deal with the case against the Jet Ski Company.
In the unlikely scenario that he is not found , all of the money raised will be donated to different charities and used to help continue his legacy. It has now been over two weeks since Ricardo has been missing at sea, we kindly urge everyone to keep praying that God will bring him back to us and any donations will be heavily appreciated.
