The world has come together trying to lessen the pain the victims as they try to regain normalcy. The Portuguese footballer has now contributed to relief efforts along with several other entrepreneur, celebrities and chefs.

The Saudi League player has sent aid to the areas affected by the disaster, as per DailyMail report. Ronaldo has paid for tents, food packages, pillows and blankets, beds, baby food and milk and medical supplies to help aid the humanitarian effort.

Earlier, Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar Jr had put their signed jerseys up for auction to help the earthquake victims.

The initiative started when Merih Demiral, a Turkish football player for Italian club Atalanta, reached out to his fellow athletes and asked for signed gear he could put up for bidding to raise funds.
