A Chilean hooker has auctioned 27 hours of her services to raise money for the country’s largest charity, during an annual fund-raising campaign for “poor disabled children.”
María Carolina (25) became an overnight celebrity, and the country’s most famous prostitute, making news headlines and appearing on talk shows. Her unusual donation has been sold off in 90 minute blocks to be collected during the event, Teletón, which runs from November 30th to December 1st.
Tart with a heart, María Carolina said:
I will work during the time that the program lasts in order to earn money for the children of the Teletón, and then deposit it in the bank. They will be my own 27 hours of love.
Teletón’s long-time host, Mario Kreutzberger, (a.k.a. Don Francisco), was ambivalent. “Everyone can do what they want, but if someone tells me that they’ll do something immoral [...] I’m not going to encourage it,” he was quoted as saying. But, since prostitution is legal in Chile, the organisers will be accepting Carolina’s pledge.
María Carolina claimed she’d already auctioned off the 27 hours of love, raising about $4,000, and explained: “One of my clients already paid. It seemed like a good deed to him.” She further defended her contribution, pointing out:
There are people who are going to be donating money that’s a lot more questionable than mine, the only thing I did was publicize it.
