Miley
Cyrus'
arm
candy
for
the
2014
MTV
Video
Music
Awards
(VMA)
was
a
homeless
man
named
Jesse,
who
also
received
an
award
on
behalf
of
the
singer
here.
On
her
way
to
the
music
awards'
night
Sunday,
Cyrus
took
to
her
Instagram
to
show
off
her
arm
candy
saying:
"My
date
:)
#jesse
#myfriendsplace
#mtvVMAs2014."
The
"We
can't
stop" hitmaker
made
no
mention
of
Jesse,
but
she
has
frequently
referenced
her
charity
work
at
myfriendsplace.org
-
an
organisation
dedicated
to
helping
the
homeless
build
self-sufficient
lives.
Miley
also
posted
a
video
on
her
FB
account.
The
22-year-old
homeless
guy
hit
the
VMA
stage
to
accept
the
Video
of
the
Year
Award
for
"Wrecking
Ball" on
behalf
of
Cyrus.
Cyrus
looked
on
with
tears
in
her
eyes
as
Jesse
began
speaking
of
the
1.6
million
runaways
and
homeless
youth
in
the
US
who
are
starving
and
lost
and
scared
for
their
lives,
before
he
admitted
to
being
one
of
them.
Committed
to
doing
something
about
the
widespread
numbers
of
homeless
youth
here
facing
Jesse's
plight,
the
pop
star
has
launched
a
Prizeo
fundraising
campaign
to
get
fans
to
join
her
fight.
