Cibele Florêncio: international donation page for Brazil's maid-turned-chess champion

Since we published our story, "A Real-Life ‘Queen’s Gambit’—the Brazilian Maid Who Became a Chess Champ" (The Wall Street Journal, Feb 23), I have received many queries from readers in the U.S. and outside Brazil kindly offering to help. GoFundMe doesn't operate in Brazil, so we created this profile, which allows international donations.

I visited Cibele at her family home in Brazil's poor northeast region earlier this month and it is just incredible how far she has come with such little support. I am certain that anything you can give will make a meaningful difference to her life and career.
