“I want to record a song by Sia , who is my favorite artist ; it will be a piano and solo song. My intention is to ask Sia for permission; you have to help me. I want to ask her to let me upload it to a YouTube account so that it gets monetized and the profits are donated to cancer research ,” said Rebeca in her video.

Through her social networks, Godoy, who is 35 years old , shared her reaction upon knowing the positive answer Sia had when she knew about the situation where she is moved to tears .

“I have no words; thank you forever, Sia and David . Wait for the cover! Thanks to everyone who helped us,” Godoy wrote.
