The 17-year-old then nominated Barcelona teammates Ivan Rakitic and Junior Firpo to help out, so it is more than likely that both will accept in the coming hours.
Barcelona, as an institution, are already helping this cause, as are Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Espanyol, Real Betis, Sevilla, Villarreal and Real Valladolid.
On a personal level, sportspeople such as Jordi Alba, Joaquin Sanchez, Ona Carbonell and Jose Manuel Calderon are also a part of this initiative.
