The ongoing crisis between Russia and Ukraine has had horrible implications for the people of Ukraine. Several people have left the country to find refuge elsewhere, as people try to mitigate the damages of the conflict. PSG star Keylor Navas is one of those people.

He and his wife recently invited 30 refugees inside their home and provided them with the necessary food and shelter. The Costa Rican goalkeeper bought 30 beds for them and gave all the refugees new clothes. He is using his wealth for a good cause, and while he’s not the only one doing so, every bit counts.
