Cristiano Ronaldo once again demonstrated a good heart. The star of Madrid "Real" financially helped a 10-month-old boy from Spain who is seriously ill.
Erik Ortiz Cruz from Villaluenga de la Sagros was born with a brain disorder known as cortical dysplasia. A person with this condition can experience up to 30 seizures in a day.
The surgery needed for Erik cost $83,000. When the boy's family reached out to the famous footballer asking for a small donation, the 28-year-old Portuguese player paid for the entire operation.
Recently, E.O. Cruz's mother posted a photo on social media showing the boy playing with items donated by C. Ronaldo - sports shoes and original "Real" jerseys.
Two years ago, the Portuguese football star helped a 9-year-old boy battling cancer by covering his treatment costs.
C. Ronaldo earns $466,000 a week.
