- 500 million reais: Find out how Marilia Mendonça’s estate was divided
- “Heal yourself little by little” Sciamma talks about his friendship with Marilia Mendonça and their partnership on the hit song “Leão”:
The tragedy, which occurred last May, killed more than 160 people and left thousands homeless. Marilia, who established herself as one of the most notable voices of Feminejo, died in a plane crash in Minas Gerais in November 2021.
Ruth told GLOBO that she had donated “more than 100 pairs of shoes and various clothing” to the victims of the tragedy, without mentioning that they belonged to Marilia.
Why did you decide to donate to flood victims?
I organized a bazaar (of Marilia clothes) to support the Institute (Marilia Mendonça, which targets socially vulnerable people). However, there were people who bought her clothes and put them up for auction. I sold it at a low, symbolic price because (the proceeds) were donated to the institute. So at the time of the accident, I sent everything south. We weren’t going to have an auction there, so that wasn’t the intention, right?
How many clothes did you send to Rio Grande do Sul after the floods?
I have over 100 pairs of shoes and lots of clothes. I sent a lot of clothes, it was a lot. All new and used items…
Have you ever told someone that the clothes were hers? Have you ever told this story?
No, I never warned you. Well, there are a lot of people today…
Many people may be wearing Marilia’s clothes without even realizing it.
that. Without knowing it. There are many people.
Have you tracked your donations so you know exactly where they went?
No, I didn’t follow you, no. He was there with everyone (donations from) to help people.
