Gestures of charity do not abound in the world of football. But when such an event happens, it is worth acknowledging and praising. In Peru, Alianza Lima's striker Hernán Barcos had a huge gesture with his nanny's family by giving him an apartment of his own at the end of last year. A situation that told how it was carried out and that reveals what a great human being he is.
To begin with, the player 'blue and white' confessed that he had not told any of his relatives about this event, other than to his wife Giuli Cunha, who supported him with this idea. “There is always someone who is worse than you. A lot of people asked me. No one knew about this event of the purchase of the house from Mari. Not my mom, not my mother-in-law, my brother either. And when it became public they asked me: But why, Hernán? Are you crazy? And I say, “Why not? Why not do it if you have the chance? And how many have the possibility and don't move a finger? And they are not able to buy a refrigerator from the employee that they may not have in the house,” said the attacker in an interview for DirecTV Sports Peru.
He then analyzed the situation that his nanny, whose name is Maria Allca, was experiencing, implying that one must look beyond his environment to collaborate with those who need it most. “Sometimes you stop looking to the side with selfishness, being self-centered, always looking at one's navel and not looking at what is next to you. Give value to people who work with you. She's taking care of our children, who are the best we have. So why not give her the opportunity for her to have a life, inside everything, with a better quality? ”, he said.
In that, he explained how Maria lived and acknowledged that he did not hesitate to get her the property so that she could have a better quality of life. “He has four children and lived in a 20 m² wooden house. We bought her one of 80 m² with a room for each of her children, for her who has her own room. That they have 2 bathrooms that did not have one before. Quality of life and give that opportunity to a family that deserves it for me. Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, if I'm crazy, if I spent what I spent, we did it from the heart with my wife,” he added.
Finally, he assured that the purchase with his wife was carried out as if it were for themselves, without sparing on the money they spent. “When we went to buy things for the house, we bought as if it were for ourselves, not for our employee. The plates, the bed, the mattress. We don't buy the cheapest plates, the cheapest knives. We buy everything from them as if it were for us because they too deserve to have that opportunity,” he said.
MARY'S ANSWER
It should be noted, that this news came to be known through Giuli Cunha, the footballer's partner, who posted a photo on his Instagram of the acquired department. “I love you very much Mari, very much! Thank you for being so affectionate to our children. May you be very happy!!!” , was the description of the snapshot.
The response from his nanny did not delay. “Thank you very much for everything, ma'am. You and your husband, are the best bosses in the world. Thank you for my beautiful apartment, it's a dream come true. Thank you very much, God bless you, I love you very much,” Maria wrote.
There is no doubt that it is a huge gesture that will greatly help a person who is already almost part of the Barcos family. In fact, they constantly upload photos on said social network gathered or sharing unique moments.
