Evangeline Lilly has come up with a way to both help the less fortunate and impress the Sawyer—or the Jack—in every woman's life.

The Lost star has launched R*Favela, a line of Brazilian-made lingerie being auctioned off on eBay to benefit Task Brazil, a U.S. nonprofit that provides housing, aid and guidance to children and teens living on the streets of the South American nation. A favela is a Brazilian slum or shantytown.

"Here on eBay I'm offering beautiful, Brazilian-made lingerie as a fun, enticing way for you to not only invest in yourself but in the poor and abandoned children of Brazil," Lilly said in a video statement.

Proceeds from every lace-trimmed camisole, pair of animal-print panties, antibacterial bra, etc. will go to Task Brazil.
