- 7 years ago
A touching moment melted the hearts of people all over the world as Cristiano Ronaldo took to the pitch ahead of the Portugal-Russia Confederations Cup game in Moscow, Wednesday, holding the hand of Polina Haeredinova, a little girl in a wheelchair.
It was a huge moment for Polina as one of her biggest dreams finally came true. Not only did she meet Ronaldo, but he also gave her a kiss and a hug and presented her with a Portugal team jacket. In return, Polina gave him a bracelet that she made specially for him.
Polina Haeredinova, a 10-year-old girl, is an aspiring model and actor. She previously became the face of a campaign for inclusive playgrounds during the 2014 Olympic Games.
Polina is one of 350 children who are taking part in a joint participation programme between the Confederations Cup organisers and McDonald's. Many of the children come from orphanages, foster homes, and low income families.
