Clóvis responded that a way was needed to rescue people, who were up to their necks in water in isolated houses. That was when Diego decided to act.
The attacker returned home and then sent friends with four jet skis available to rescue the people; one of the vehicles was his, and the other three were borrowed.
With the equipment provided by the player, approximately one hundred people were rescued. Before saying goodbye, Diego even took photos with Clóvis and his daughters.
I’m 56 years old and I travel with Geral (organized by Grêmio) for everything. What Diego did today I had never seen. He arrived a few months ago, left his truck in the water, took his friends’ jet-ski, that’s incredible. I even get emotional when he talks, he is incredibly humble… I can’t even describe what he did

Coloradoans also helped
Internacional goalkeeper Rochet was also involved in helping those affected by the floods. In addition to donating food, the Uruguayan served meals to the homeless throughout the afternoon. Midfielder Thiago Maia, in turn, participated in the actions by donating basic food baskets to those suffering from the effects of the climate.
