The Al Hilal star stated, “Delicate moment that our Brazil is going through and helping is NEVER too much, regardless of your financial condition. What matters is what you carry in your heart. I don’t like and don’t like to post everything I do or help, because who does it.. do it from the heart, not from the commitment. So, this post is to encourage more people to help. I’d like to thank the pilots of my aircraft and everyone involved. I’m here from afar praying that everything goes back to normal… My father is taking care of me and giving all the help possible. ❤️🙏”

The Brazilian government has done a great job of controlling the situation at hand with the death tolls witnessing a considerable decrease.
