Join Me in Celebrating My 50th Birthday by Changing Lives

As I celebrate a milestone—my 50th birthday—I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey I've been fortunate to take. While I’m deeply grateful for the opportunities I’ve had, I’m also reminded that many children around the world are not as fortunate. Education, something so many of us take for granted, remains out of reach for millions. This is why I’m dedicating this special occasion to a cause close to my heart: the Esharelife Foundation.

On Giving
By Khalil Gibran (from "The Prophet")

You give but little when you give of your possessions.
It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

For what are your possessions but things you keep and guard for fear you may need them tomorrow?
And what is fear of need but need itself?

There are those who give little of the much which they have—
And they give it for recognition, and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.
And there are those who have little and give it all.
These are the believers in life and the bounty of life, and their coffer is never empty.

Esharelife has always been about creating opportunities and empowering those who need it most. Through this foundation, we’ve been able to provide education to children living in poverty—giving them the tools they need to dream big and build a better future. But there’s so much more we can do.

This year, I’m asking for your support instead of gifts or celebrations. No matter how small, every donation will go directly to funding education programs that can transform lives. Together, we can make my birthday a reason for hundreds of children to smile and dream.

Your generosity can light the path for those who need it most. Let’s make this milestone birthday not just a celebration of my life, but a life-changing moment for many others.

Thank you for standing with me in making a difference.

With gratitude,

Maurizio Bragagni
