Around the world, we still witness extremely bold individuals who choose to go… nude to support something truly meaningful. Not far from us, a student in England once went nude while horseback riding to call for people to… wear helmets back in early December 2019, which is a typical example.
Most cases like this are often seen as attention-seeking, without any real impact. However, there are still instances where individuals want their nudity to be more meaningful, just like Kaylen Ward – a famous American Instagram hot model recently.
Specifically, as reported, Australia is currently undergoing a “catastrophic” bushfire described as the worst in decades. The Australian government and many organizations have mobilized all resources to control the disaster, but the flames continue to spread, and it is still impossible to predict when it will end.
But the most important thing here is that to tackle the disaster, funds are needed. All resources that want to be mobilized require a significant amount of money, so every contribution from philanthropists is precious. And to encourage everyone to actively donate to save Australia, Kaylen Ward came up with an extremely bold idea: she would send her nude photos to anyone who donated at least 10 USD to organizations helping to extinguish fires in Australia.
Ward mentioned that she had previously sold her nude photos for money, so this time she hoped her fans would be willing to pay for a higher purpose. And guess what, she actually succeeded!
Just within a few minutes after posting her introduction, her Instagram and Twitter inboxes were immediately… flooded with thousands of messages confirming donations. As of now, Kaylen has raised over 100,000 AUD (approximately 1.6 billion VND), and the number is expected to increase as messages keep pouring in.
“That disaster is too horrific, anyone who sees it would feel concerned and want to help,” – she shared.
Along with her post, Ward included a list of charities to donate to, such as the NSW Fire Brigade, the Victoria Fire Department, the Red Cross, and several veterinary stations across Australia. Initially, she planned to raise only a few thousand dollars, but unexpectedly, after just one night, she received at least 20,000 messages.
“Someone sent me a whopping 5000 USD, so I replied with 50 photos along with a video,” – she said.
However, her success this time came with a price. Ward did not expect that some recipients of her photos would decide to… spread them outside. Thus, many individuals accessed the images intended for donors without spending a dime.
“Some people shared my photos with those who did not donate. Honestly, you guys are sick,” – Ward angrily shared on Twitter.
The consequences of this bold move are not over yet. Currently, Ward’s official Instagram account has been locked. She has to use another account temporarily while waiting to regain access to her main account.
“My Insta page is locked, my family hates me for sure, and the guy I like won’t even talk to me anymore because of this. But screw this damn world, let’s save the koalas first,”
Despite this, Ward stated that she does not regret it and will continue to do so for future natural disasters (if any).
“At first, I was very stressed. But 5 minutes later, my inbox was flooded with messages, and at that point, my stress disappeared completely,” – she shared.
