👋 Who I am and why I collect

I’m David (DMA), writer and creator of the Canela Universe. I published the book *The Boy Who Smells of Cinnamon* and, little by little, I’ve been turning that story into a broader cultural project: books, illustrations, a blog and objects that convey memory and hope.

I’ve managed to take the first steps: publishing my books on Amazon, opening an online shop and creating the first official merchandise (bags and mugs). Now I need support to take the next step: cultural presentations, more book print runs and the expansion of the Canela Universe.

This project isn’t just personal: it’s a tribute to all those who, like the Cinnamon Boy, learned to grow up amidst difficulties. Every contribution helps keep the story alive and reach more hearts.

🎯 Use of funds

• Printing of books and merchandise.
• Organisation of cultural presentations
• Minimal advertising to promote the books.
• Postage and promotional materials.

🙏 Thanks to our supporters

Every contribution, big or small, is a gesture of trust that helps me keep going. Thank you for being part of the Canela Universe and making it possible for this story to unfold, slowly but surely, with you at its heart.

Signed with love,
