Cristiano Ronaldo
isn’t always the nicest guy on
the field, but off it, the reigning FIFA Ballon d’Or champion is a prolific
humanitarian. According to The Guardian, earlier this
week the Real Madrid star donated $7.8 million to Nepal’s earthquake relief
efforts.
[Ronaldo] donated £5m
to the charity Save the Children to help their aid efforts in Nepal after the
earthquake which killed more than 8,000 people and injured another 20,000 last
month.
In addition to his donation, Ronaldo also posted a call to action for his 100
million fans on Facebook, requesting that they donate to Save the Children as
well.
It’s been a week of
Ronaldo charity. On Wednesday, we shared a video of Ronaldo admonishing a
jeering crowd for laughing at
young fan who was attempting to ask the star a question in Portuguese.
If more stories
of Ronaldo’s generosity and humanity continue to surface, it’s going to become
quite difficult to hold any of his dives or on-field side eye against him.
