Who created the Cristiano Ronaldo GoFundMe parody?
HelpCristiano is a satirical GoFundMe-style appeal about Cristiano Ronaldo’s €255 fine, created by independent creative Sebastião Assis.
Is this a real GoFundMe fundraiser for Ronaldo?
No. HelpCristiano is an independent parody of an emergency fundraiser for Ronaldo’s €255 Portuguese Football Federation fine. It is not affiliated with the player or GoFundMe. The €28 progress figure on the mockup is fictional.
Who came up with the idea?
The project was created by independent creative Sebastião Assis. Portuguese news outlet IOL covered the initiative and identified its creator.
Where do donations actually go?
HelpCristiano does not accept or process donations. Visitors can instead support the existing GoFundMe fundraiser for 3 C’S Powerchair Football, a Portuguese powerchair football team seeking support to compete in Spain.
A fake emergency. A real cause.
