Lionel Messi’s wife didn’t wait even 24 hours after the earthquake in Venezuela. With Messi in the middle of the 2026 World Cup, Antonela posted on Instagram the link to a GoFundMe campaign by I Love Venezuela Foundation.
The Argentine wrote: “My thoughts and prayers are with all the people affected by the terrible situation Venezuela is facing.” That was enough. In less than 48 hours, more than 32,000 people from all over the world had donated, surpassing 2.3 million dollars.
By June 28, the figure was already nearing 4 million, on the way to a goal of 6 million, intended for food, drinking water, medical care, and shelter. Neymar, for his part, added 250,000 dollars directly. 🌍
Sometimes all it takes is one voice at the right moment. And Antonela’s moved the whole world.
