Letter to Lionel Messi

Open letter from Philippe Fontagnères to Lionel Messi
“Hand Hyppo’s support request”

2 September 2020,

Hello Lionel Messi,We are the most atypical associations from Brussels, we take charge of young people which may be disabled, aimless, isolated or a combination of several critical social deprivation factors.
We have been conducting every year, for 12 consecutive years, social and playful projects for these groups of young people. These groups are quite eclectic, they are composed of 30% of handicapped persons while the rest of the 70 % are isolated or idler young people.
We undertake projects that would give to every young people the opportunity to reveal its solidarity as well as its capacity to demonstrate its aptitudes in social environments with eclectic groups. In order to allow each one of them to acquire the capacity of social integration combined with essential benevolence highly beneficial for their future. The whole program is based on their development:
Developing relations, learning processes and social skills but also exploring new grounds, pleasures and aptitudes.
WHEN SPORT SUPPORTS HAND HYPPO
We would like to organize an exceptional tombola with your shirt or autographed football, from you and your team.
We have for the moment an autographed shirt (from the Belgian national team) from Vincent Kompany, a racket from Yarina Wikmayeur. We would like to realize an exceptional collection of football shirts in order to sell them on auction and online which would greatly help to support our projects.
It only takes you a moment to help us realize never-ending dreams for so many young people and the relentless desire to fulfill some of them thanks to your support. Of course we cordially invite to join us the day of the tombola and we know that if it only depended on you, you would have come, but the professional contingencies make that we are totally in agreement to accept humbly your support with an autographed shirt.

Best regards,

Philippe Fontagnères ,
Président,
