Paris-Saint Germain shot-stopper Keylor Navas has accepted 30 Ukrainian refugees into his home in Paris as the Russian invasion of the country rages on.
The 35-year-old Costa Rican international has purchased 30 beds to be placed inside their home theatre which is currently serving as the base for the refugees inside the mansion. His wife Andrea is helping to prepare food while both have provided clothing for their guests, as per Sport.
The same report claims that Navas found out that 'the association of gypsies from Gracia, Barcelona ' had made their way to Krakow to provide food and take in refugees before putting his name forward to help by welcoming 30 into his own home. Andre urged her social media followers to offer to help any Ukrainians that have been impacted by the war in their home country.
She reposted a message from the Tiempos de Esperanza foundation who called on donations of supplies and clothes. Alongside the message, Andrea wrote: "Hands that give, will never be empty.
"On Tuesday, Ukrainian families will be arriving in Valencia welcomed and brought with much love by @noguerajavi, his wife Isis, his nova vida team, @fundaciontiemposdeesperanza, priests, people moved by their hearts in the face of this chaos that they are living.
"And I wanted to share with you that through Amazon.es we can help these children, some with their mother, others not, young people alone, with just their clothes, which was the only thing they could take, we can contribute whatever non-perishable food , clothes, personal hygiene items, etc. I share the information! So that they can feel love in the midst of so much pain."

Navas is currently away from his Paris home and with his Costa Rican national side as they look to secure a place in Qatar for the World Cup later this year. He kept a clean sheet as Costa Rica moved up to fourth in the CONCACAF standings with a 1-0 win over leaders Canada on Friday.
Their next two outings come against El Salvador and the United States in their final two games. Navas will be desperate Costa Rica can hold their nerve and remain in fourth to secure a place in the play-offs and keep their hopes of a World Cup place alive.
