Marbella’s Maria Bravo, from translating in hospitals to a diamond award in Madrid

Maria Bravo, a resident of Marbella, has been honored with the International Luxury Awards – Diamonds of Excellence in Madrid. The prestigious award, presented by global leaders at Madrid's Royal Academy of Fine Arts, recognizes her founding of the Global Gift Foundation. This charity, born out of Maria's experiences volunteering as an interpreter for Hispanic families in American hospitals, now hosts a Global Gift Gala in various cities worldwide.

A highlight of her work is Casa Angeles, a day center in Marbella catering to children and young people with special needs and their families. The success of Maria's endeavors has been acknowledged by her neighbors, who named a square in Estepona after her and a roundabout in Marbella in her honor. Maria's achievements will be celebrated again in October, when she will co-chair the Global Gift Gala in Monaco alongside Eva Longoria.

The event, supported by artists and celebrities, aims to continue raising funds for critical causes.
