According to reports, Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a plane full of care packages to earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria.
Marca reported that Ronaldo paid for tents, food packages, pillows, blankets, beds, baby food, milk, and medical supplies to help offer relief for those affected by the tragedy. The donation is valued at $350,000.
Turkish footballer, Merih Demiral, revealed earlier that he has permission from Ronaldo to auction one of his signed jerseys from his collection and that the money would be donated to aid the earthquake victims.
Demiral tweeted: “I just spoke with Cristiano. He said that he was very sad about what happened in Turkey. We are auctioning Ronaldo’s signed jersey in my collection. All proceeds from the auction will be used in the earthquake zone.”
This is not the first time Ronaldo would be making such generous donations.
He once donated $83,000 to pay for a child’s brain surgery and donated $165,000 to fund a cancer centre in Portugal.
