Chiara Ferragni and husband, Italian rapper Fedez launched a Gofundme in support for the creation of new intensive care places at the San Raffaele hospital in Milan, in light of the ongoing Coronavirus crisis.

Though it opened just on the morning of March 9, it had already raised a million euros in just 5 hours, and exceeded 3 million in a day. The Ferragnez, as they call themselves, set a good first example by putting the initial figure of 100 thousand euros.

The gesture, involving one of the most famous fashion bloggers in the world and a well known rapper, has moved public opinion, fans, celebrities, and 92 countries in the world with 165 thousand donations. 

The couple posted a thank you to everyone on their Instagram, writing in the caption of the second post: «Together we are invincible!». And it's not about likes, but about using a tool like social media responsibly. We hope that our initiative will raise awareness among people in Italy and abroad about the Coronavirus emergency in which we are all involved," explains Chiara Ferragni and Fedez. From Alessia Marcuzzi, Francesco Facchinetti, Emma Marrone, Arisa, Alessandra Amoroso, Mahmood, Diodato to Tomaso Trussardi, Alberto Cerri, Belen Rodriguez, Laura Chiatti, Fiammetta Cicogna, and also Dua lipa, many have since published on their Instagram story the certificate of the donations that they have made.
