As he explains, the sale of messages will be done through Cameo, a platform where fans can buy personalized videos from their idols. In Silva’s case, the content costs US$150 — around R$770 at the current price.
According to the actor, all income acquired until May 23rd will be donated to BrazilFoundation, one of the organizations that is helping victims of the floods in Rio Grande do Sul. This is the same group that was also publicized by model Gisele Bündchen.
“I would love to record videos for you wishing you a happy birthday, happy Mother’s Day”, adds the Brazilian actor. “It’s a cute gift.” He also adds that even those who are unable to purchase one of his videos can help with any other amount directly on the institution’s website, which is one of several organizations helping the state of Rio Grande do Sul at this time.
Help from all sides
Rafael Silva is just another big international name mobilizing in favor of Rio Grande do Sul. In addition to him and Gisele Bündchen, South Korean actor Sung Hoon also announced that he would reverse the revenue from an event he participates in in Brazil this Friday (10) to the victims of the floods.
In the field of music, the band Fresno performed a benefit live with other singers and raised more than R$2 million in donations. Singer Madonna, who performed in the country on May 4, also made a donation of R$17 million, while Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that he would also help with a cash donation.
