Supporting sons
Although both athletes have topped up their bank accounts quite nicely these past few years, they still support their families back home! ‘I finally convinced my mother to stop working!’, Gollito proudly announces. ‘She’s been working as a cleaning lady in a hotel. I’ve been telling her she has to stop working for four years now’. ‘It’s funny!’, Airton drops in, ‘I’ve been telling my mum the same thing! She works way too hard. I make enough money to support the family, but she just doesn’t want to stop working’.
Gollito kept his promise, buying a new house in El Yaque for his mother. ‘But now I support myself!’, Gollito laughs!, ‘I have my own house!’.
