The organization, which Ronaldo has supported since 2013, said in a statement that Ronaldo asked Save the Children not to discuss details of his donation. However, they added that it “will help us provide much-needed relief to children from Aleppo and across Syria.”

“This is for the children of Syria,” the soccer star said in the video. “We know you have been suffering a lot. I am a very famous player, but you are the true heroes. Don’t lose your hope. The world is with you. I am with you.”
