Dwyane Wade helps family displaced by fire, I Tilt My Hat To You Sir...


Dwyane Wade heard about a South Florida woman whose nephew accidentally burned down her home and ruined all the family’s possessions, He helped the family move into a new home, just in time for Christmas. Wade presented Dawn Smith with the ultimate Christmas gift on Wednesday, the keys to a her new house, along with some furnishings, clothing and gifts to make sure her family has a joyous holiday, something that didn’t seem likely just a few weeks ago.
His Wade’s World foundation will make some payments on the home, while Smith and her family get back on their feet.
“That’s what I try to teach my kids,” said Wade, And His foundation has hosted several charity events this holiday season, mostly for needy children. “It’s not about what you’re going to receive—it’s what you can give to others from what you’ve received.”
The South Florida Woman couldn’t hold back happy cries when she saw the home for the first time.
“A big-time relief,” She said, clearly overcome by emotion.(VERY CLEARLY, I WOULD TOO IF I WAS HER) “Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Oh, God, thank you so much.” She Said.
Wade had a simple message: “Hopefully, you’ll like it.”
Wade’s other holiday events this year included a party for 350 children on Monday, and hosting 100 kids at Tuesday night’s Heat game against the Golden State Warriors. He also donated $10,000 to each of three children’s organizations,(DAMN LOL) but he said he was mainly touched by being able to assist the South Florida family.
“We can help this family have a new beginning,” Wade said. (And For That, I Tilt My Hat To him)
