Gisele Bundchen made one brave teen's day when the supermodel visited Karina Xavier on Thursday.
Xavier is battling cancer but isn't letting go of her dream of becoming a makeup artist. Her blog, Chic By Karina, gives DIY makeup and fashion tips, and is a huge Internet hit.
The 15-year-old, who lives not far from Boston -- home of Bundchen and her New England Patriots star hubby, Tom Brady -- is also -- like Gisele -- of Brazilian descent.
