During the pandemic, fans and the wider football community had come together to donate to Maia and family after the footballer opened up about his financial struggles as sports events were put on hold under health guidelines.
Over €30,000 was raised for baby Luca’s recovery in an example of the generosity found in Malta when times call for it. At the time, aged just one years old, he was given a 50% chance to live.
