Stunning Victoria’s Secret model generously donates £14,000 to help buy homeless man a house after he lost his entire family in war 25 years ago

A VICTORIA’S Secret model has changed has helped buy a homeless man a HOUSE by donating £14,000 after hearing how he lost his whole family in a war.

Moldovan-born model Xenia Deli, 27, gave a homeless man known as Mikhail Garia, 68, one million RUB (£13,880) after she discovered he'd lost all his family members running away from the military conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh in the South Caucasus in the late 1980s.


Also known as Uncle Misha, Mr Garia is a man everybody knows in the city of Krasnodar in south-western Russia's Krasnodar Krai region.

He came to Krasnodar from the city of Baku in eastern Azerbaijan in 1989.

He lived with friends for a while but became homeless when they died.

He is known to every football fan in Krasnodar, as he attends all the matches of local clubs.

Uncle Misha always gets into the stadium for free, as most of the clubs consider him their talisman.

Some even joke that his long wizard-looking beard is the one thing that brings teams luck.

Now, to make ends meet, he sells apples, fish and other products.

He says: "The meaning of life for me is to do good things. Doesn’t matter in what space I do it, how far the distance is. No matter where I am, I want to help people. This brings me happiness and joy."

Local activists have been raising money to buy uncle Misha a home, with supermodel Xenia among the most generous donors.

In total volunteers have managed to raise 1,765.193 RUB (£24,500) for a home for Uncle Misha.

He says having a place of his own is his biggest dream.

One of the main fundraising organisers Svetlana Chernikova said: "It looks utterly bizarre, like a dream. "But I want to remind everyone that we are the ones who make magic happen. The most important thing is to believe."
