Peruvian TikTok star Milenka Nolasco donated 20,000 soles to Teleton 2026, presenting a giant novelty check on live television after telling viewers she had been moved by the stories of children in Piura.
Nolasco, who is also a singer with the cumbia group Los Cuatro de la Cumbia, took part in the annual charity broadcast alongside numerous other television personalities and content creators.
She said she had a little surprise achieved together with her community and a very strong donor who was joining the Teleton. She said she had seen the reality of the children in Piura and how badly they wanted to get ahead. She said she visited the Clinica San Juan de Dios there and that hearing their stories moved her deeply, which is why she shared what she saw with her community and with one especially generous person so they could help. Nolasco, who streams on Kick, then revealed the giant check confirming the donation of 20,000 soles.
Hosts praise the donation
The contribution was warmly celebrated by presenters Monica Zevallos and Christian Rivero, who noted that the fundraising total was climbing steadily toward its goal throughout the telethon.
