Zach Galifianakis is a well-known comedian loved by many people in Hollywood, but his life wasn’t always so glamorous. Before he became famous, Zach had a much simpler life. Despite all the changes in his career, one person has remained a special part of his life for years.

This person is a woman named Mimi Haist, an elderly homeless woman Zach met before his big break. When Zach found out Mimi had no family and was living on the streets, he wanted to help. For years, he paid for her rent and made sure she had a safe place to live.

Even as Zach’s career took off, he didn’t forget about Mimi. He would often visit her, spend time with her, and invite her to events, like movie premieres. To Zach, helping Mimi was just something he felt was the right thing to do. Their bond shows that no matter how famous someone becomes, acts of kindness can make a big difference.
