Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo came to the aid of four families in his native Chile by buying them four houses after theirs were decimated by wildfire.
One of the children affected by the fire had reached out to Bravo, a nine-year-old boy named Camilo, and asked for a signed shirt, but the City star went the extra mile to help the homeless families.
Wildfires raged through the country in 2017, killing 11 people and rendering 3,000 buildings and homes destroyed.
It left countless families devastated and lives ruined, but upon hearing Camilo's plea, Bravo was determined to help the best he could.
Camilo's grandfather, Miguel, revealed the details of Bravo's gesture, which had been little known up until now.
'They interviewed my grandson when the fire was and he said he would like to have Claudio Bravo's shirt,' Miguel told La Cuarta.
'Then he contacted him and told him that he was going to give him his shirt. And in addition a house.
'I was defeated [before Bravo's help]. I felt that we would not touch our house and I was thinking how I was going to fix things.
'Then this help from heaven came.'
Bravo, who used to captain Chile and has turned out 119 times for the country, and his wife visited one particularly badly-affected area, Santa Olga, over 300 miles south of capital Santiago, after the horrendous disaster.
Miguel added: 'Carla Pardo (Bravo's wife) came later with her children to visit us and see how we were. They were very kind.
'They even invited my grandson and his father to a game at the national stadium.
'The gesture he made with my family and with my grandson was very big.'
Almost 3,000 fires razed to the ground over a million acres in January 2017.
