“I want to thank the demonstrations of millions of people… I still have a voice because I was intubated. I’m already walking. I feel nothing, no pain. I’m completely recovered. I want everyone to be sure what a transplant is.”

he began the video that was published on the profile ‘Faustão do meu Coração’, a page created by his wife, Luciana Cardoso, 46, to publish reports of transplanted people and raise awareness about the importance of organ donation.

“Out of 200 or so transplants, 60 people waited less than a month for the surgery. I got lucky in this queue. I want to thank José Pereira da Silva, Fábio’s father, who was generous and ensured that I was alive. I am thrilled to say this. I want to thank Edson, Fábio’s brother, Jaqueline, the widow… They are the most humble people. They helped me. I know people are talking nonsense on the internet. The important thing is to know that I am here very emotional and with a fantastic recovery”,

declared the presenter.
