The 46-year-old declared bankruptcy in 2019 and had since been relying on the support of Adira due to his failure to secure a stable job.

- Brazil striker Richarlison battled with depression after his country's quarter-final loss to Croatia at the 2022 World Cup and considered quitting football. Richarlison, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur, said in September he would seek psychological help after he was photographed crying on the bench when he was substituted during Brazil's 5-1 thrashing of Bolivia in a 2026 World Cup qualifier."I'd just played in a World Cup, at my peak," Richarlison told ESPN Brasil."I was reaching my limit, you know? I don't know, I'm not going to talk about killing myself, but I was in a depression there, and I wanted to give up.
"Before I went to training, I wanted to go home, I wanted to go back to my room because I don't know what was going through my head," he said."I even went and told my dad I was going to give up. "It's kind of sad to talk like that. What I went through after the World Cup ... To go to my father, who was the guy who chased my dream with me, and say, 'Dad, I want to give up', is crazy.""I think the therapist, like it or not, saved me, saved my life. I only thought rubbish ... If you need a psychologist, look for one because it's nice for you to open up like that, for you to be talking to the person," Richarlison added.
