We all know that Ronaldinho is a really controversial star in the world of football. He is famous for his amazing skill and talent inside the pitch, but also because of his manners outside the stadium. This time, he became a hero by helping a poor family.

There is a little town in Argentina called Cipolletti where a baby was early born with Down’s Syndrome. His family spends a lot of money on treatments for him so they were forced to sell their store to keep paying and they needed to collect 3.500 dollars.

A family friend Lucas Surber that played with Ronaldinho a couple of exhibition matches started a campaign to collect money and manage to communicate to the former FC Barcelona player. When Ronaldinho hear about this, he signed a Brazilian shirt as a gift so they can sell to get money.

This gave the campaign a lot of exposure and helped the family to have something valid to sell for more money for Donatto, the baby. These kind of gestures are the reason why stars like Ronaldinho are still being stars outside the pitch and everybody is talking about him.
