Mario Soares, one of the composers of the song Pensa em Mim, is treated by the SUS (Unified Health System) after failing to receive help from Leonardo. He was discharged from Portugal’s Beneficiary Hospital in Santos on Saturday (3) and given a wheelchair to assist in his mobility, which was impaired after the accident.
The information was confirmed to that TV news by Marinho Soares, son of Mario. The heir is disappointed that Leonardo did not help the family get better doctors for treatment. He said he doesn’t want any money. “Unfortunately, Leonardo did not take care of his health,” he lamented in a note.
“He had no sympathy for a man who changed his life. Of course, Leonardo was already a national success. But Pensa em Mim gave him idol status,” said Marinho.
“I’m sure if Leonardo had even the slightest bit of affection and gratitude, we wouldn’t be suffering in the SUS queue. Being dependent on the SUS is difficult for any citizen who needs it,” the son regretted. In pictures released this Tuesday (6) to accompany the report, he showed his father in a wheelchair in a queue.
The requests for medical assistance were published by Marinho on Facebook on Tuesday (29th). He hoped to get the sertanejo’s attention, but failed. O TV news Leonardo sought out through his manager Ede Curi. She explained that she had blocked the Soares family’s WhatsApp contacts and that the artist would not comment on the matter.
The song “Pensa em Mim” helped the duo Leandro (19611998) and Leonardo to be successful in the 1990s. In addition to Mario, Douglas Gomes da Silva and José Ribeiro da Silva were also involved in the creation of the song.
