SAPEACU, Brazil (CNN) — Shopkeepers and school children in this remote Brazilian farming town giggle and point when Rebecca Bernardo pedals by on her rusty red bicycle.
The unwanted attention started a few months ago when the Brazilian high school student posted a video on YouTube.
Wearing a sleeveless pink top and standing next to a mirror showing her profile as she speaks, Bernardo announces to the camera, “Hi, my name is Rebecca. I’m here to auction off my virginity.”
Bernardo told CNN she made the offer because she was desperate to help her ailing mother. She heard about Catarina Migliorini, a Brazilian woman who reportedly sold her virginity for $780,000 on an Australian website seeking virgins. Migliorini has reportedly yet to finalize the deal and receive the money, and Brazil is reportedly investigating whether the website should be charged with human trafficking. Nevertheless, Migliorini has received widespread publicity and modeling contracts — including a spread in Brazil’s version of Playboy magazine.
“I made up my mind right after my 18th birthday,” Bernardo said in an interview with CNN last month in her small, one-bedroom house. “That’s when my mother suffered a stroke.”
The stroke left her mother bed-ridden, unable to feed herself or go to the bathroom alone.
Bernardo said she looked for jobs and tried selling cosmetics and working as a waitress, but without a high school degree, the pay was minimal.

May somebody with far more wealth than I step in and hire a local to tend the girl's mother.
Wages are likely low in that area.
Somewhere I read an article about fully half of the world's wealth resides in a very small percentage of the population.
Maybe it is time for the people of the world to find a method of distributing wealth and cast aside the many created barriers designed to ensure the wealth flows ever-upwards instead of spreading across to all…
and, of course, keep in place the aspect of the system that encourages folks to strive in the various ways useful to those striving and their fellow humans.
Doctors, etc. requiring above-norm intelligence diligence. They should receive more.
But there has to be at least a small amount of leveling or the always-dreaded revolt of the masses can occur when least expected.
