Estrelas internacionais fazem doações milionárias e somam esforços no combate ao coronavirus, mas no Brasil movimento ainda é tímido

O mercado de entretenimento foi um dos primeiros a serem abalados pela pandemia do coronavirus e provavelmente será um dos últimos a se recuperar. Mesmo assim as celebridades do setor estão arregaçando as mangas e se engajando para combater o coronavirus. toda a sociedade está buscando ajudar como pode, e quem tem mais possibilidades, seja financeira, seja por ter mais poder de influência e exposição, consegue potencializar essa ajuda. É o que muitas estrelas internacionais estão fazendo, movimento que ainda está pouco articulado no Brasil (veja aqui como estão as doações no Brasil).

Levando a sério o conceito de quem pode mais, doa mais, diversas celebridades de Hollywood estão fazendo doações significativas para ajudar no combate ao coronavirus, como a atriz Angelina Jolie doou R$ 5 milhões para levar merenda na casa de alunos nos EUA, está ajudando escolas na África e apoiando a Unesco em projetos de ensino à distância.

Confira abaixo outras celebridades internacionais que estão se mobilizando contra o Covid-19.

A Ralph Lauren Corporate Foundation, da Ralph Lauren, doou US$ 10 milhões para o combate ao coronavírus (mais de R$50 milhões!).

I am speechless, my eyes are filled with tears of joy and my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude. I made a wish to the Universe to gather protective masks for our brave healthcare workers and today my dream came true. One of my patients, a beautiful Living Angel just donated $1,000,000 to help us buy hundreds of thousands of masks, face shields, and other protective gear which we will have delivered directly to our first responders, as too many masks at hospitals are disappearing before making their way onto the faces of our front line heroes. I have never felt more blessed to be a doctor, as helping our brave ER and ICU workers feels just as gratifying as helping my own patients. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU @kyliejenner ❤️. You are my hero. This generous donation will help save many precious lives. Our world is a better place with you in it. I love you so much. Thank you X a million….

I never believed in sitting on the couch and complaining about how bad things are, I always believed we should all do our part to make things better. This is a simple way to protect our real action heroes on the frontlines in our hospitals, and I’m proud to be part of it. I donated 1 million dollars, and I hope that all of you who can will step up to support these heroes. Go to the link in my bio to help out.

So I talked to some doctors and scientists. It’s not the easiest for everyone right now but the kindest/healthiest thing we can do is self-quarantine and not hang out with people over 65 and in large groups. I wish I could see my parents and grandmas right now but it’s much safer to not so I don’t get them sick in case I have it. I’m hanging at home with my dogs. I love you world, we’ll all get through this. Trust me, I talked to God —she said we’re gonna be ok.
