On June 24, Latin GRAMMY-nominated trap-rapper Bad Bunny was vacationing back home in Puerto Rico while the SER Teletonpr.org telethon was being held, raising funds to support rehabilitative treatment for children with autism and muscular disabilities. Generously, the hitmaker opened his heart and his wallet, donating $100,000 toward the telethon's final total of $1.7 million.

"I only act from my heart," is the translation of the donation video of Bad Bunny posted by SER on Instagram. "I'm just being me."
With the extraordinary challenges Puerto Rico faces today, especially for its children with disabilities, Bad Bunny's form of support provides a shining light. He grew up watching the annual SER telethon and thought it would be nice to be there with the kids this year.
Bad Bunny is currently at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with Cardi B and J Balvin for "I Like It." A master of collaboration, his featured slot on J Balvin's hit "Si Tu Novio Te Deja Sola" brought the pair a nomination for Best Urban Fusion Performance at the 18th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards, which they performed as part of a medley during the broadcast, joined by Steve Aoki and French Montana.
In 2017 alone, Bad Bunny amassed more than four billion views on YouTube, according to Rolling Stone. He is currently back from vacation and in the middle of a world tour.
