It is true that Cristiano Ronaldo is often in the spotlight for his controversies or sporting achievements, but his humanitarian side is known and he showed it again in a massive gesture to the victims of the powerful earthquake that occurred a few weeks ago in Turkey and Syria.
As reported by the Daily Mail, the Al Nassr footballer, deeply affected by the tragic scenes left by this natural disaster, with a very high death toll, decided to send a plane full of materials to help those affected.
In particular, Cristiano Ronaldo sent tents, food for the elderly and babies, pillows, blankets, beds, milk and medical supplies to collaborate with the humanitarian efforts given to these people. A move that Turkey and Syria hope will encourage other athletes or celebrities to follow the example of the Portuguese.
In fact, this same Friday, Cristiano Ronaldo was seen in a video in which he congratulated a young Syrian who dreams of meeting him.
Among CR7’s other great altruistic gestures, it is noteworthy that he paid for a child’s brain surgery, helped finance a cancer center in Portugal and that he is an ambassador for charities such as Save the Children , Unicef and World Vision, in addition to donating more than one million euros to Portuguese hospitals at the height of the coronavirus.
