During her latest public appearance, Alejandra Silva left more than a few people speechless with the message she delivered in support of the most disadvantaged. That day, Richard Gere's wife made history with a speech filled with phrases like "no one should face their final moments without dignity."
Last Monday, June 9, the couple met with Queen Letizia at an important event organized in Madrid: the closing ceremony of the 17th edition of "Euros de tu Nómina." This initiative, promoted by Banco Santander, supports several social projects.
This time, Alejandra Silva and Richard Gere attended as presidents of The Gere Foundation and ambassadors of HOGAR SÍ, an initiative for which they received a significant award.
In collaboration with the other members of this non-profit association, the actor and his wife have a clear goal: to end homelessness in six years. Through their work, they seek to help those who lack shelter, care, and companionship.
During the ceremony, both went up on stage to thank for the award they had just received. They also took the opportunity to highlight the support their project receives, which is committed to social causes.
However, the most striking moment of their appearance was the speech Alejandra Silva delivered after receiving this recognition. She used the moment to once again raise her voice in favor of the most disadvantaged.

As soon as she stepped on stage, Alejandra Silva took the floor to thank Banco Santander for having recognized the work of HOGAR SÍ through its charitable initiative.
Moreover, during her emotional speech and with Richard Gere's support, the Galician spoke about the plight of those who live without a home or humanitarian support to move forward. It was a message full of empathy in which both highlighted the deep loneliness and abandonment that some people suffer during the hardest moments of their lives.
"No one should face their final moments without dignity, without care, without a home," Alejandra Silva stated with conviction. With just this phrase, she managed to encapsulate the essence of the message she wanted to convey: the importance of ensuring a dignified death for all people.
"This project was created to change this, so that, even if someone hasn't been able to live with dignity, at least they can die with it," Richard Gere's wife added.
Finally, Alejandra Silva closed her speech with a message full of hope and humanity. "This project exists so that, even when life is unfair, the end of this life can be a little fairer, surrounded by care, warmth, and above all, compassion," she concluded.
