The model’s plea reached the ears of entrepreneur Elon Musk, and on Thursday, May 9, the billionaire, who owns X, formerly known as Twitter, announced that he will make a contribution through Starlink, his satellite internet company.
Everything about celebrities’ participation in helping flood victims”Given the terrible floods in Rio Grande do Sul, Starlink will donate 1,000 terminals to emergency teams and make the use of all terminals in the region free until the region recovers.
I wish the best for the people of Brazil,” wrote the entrepreneur when sharing Gisele’s video.In Gisele’s video, she said: “My home state had the worst tragedy in its history. Heavy rains flooded entire cities in most of the state, not just one or two cities.
Over 350 cities have been affected.””People are not just losing their homes, their jobs, they are losing everything, and there are many still to be rescued. No one was prepared for such devastation,” she continued.”Cities are isolated, roads and bridges destroyed.
People are without electricity, clean water to drink, and many have been separated from their loved ones. And the saddest part is that many lives have been lost. It’s painful, heart-wrenching. So, please, join me in trying to help. Make donations and help in any way you can,” she concluded.
