A powerful story!

Zach Galifianakis met Marie "Mimi" Haist while she was living in a laundromat, surviving on customer tips. Homeless after her divorce, Mimi was allowed to sleep between washers and dryers. Despite being an unknown comedian at the time, Zach helped her find a comfortable apartment, covering her rent. As Zach's fame grew, especially after the "Hangover" trilogy, he remained humble and their friendship strengthened. He even took Mimi to a red carpet event, providing her with experiences she never imagined.

Their bond lasted 27 years until Mimi passed away at 96, illustrating a story of kindness and loyalty.
