Former Marquette star Dwyane Wade did the ultimate in the name of Christmas spirit. After hearing about a family in South Florida who had their house accidentally burnt down by a nephew, Wade decided to provide a bit of Christmas cheer. Wade gave a house to the displaced family. A HOUSE!
The family was overcome with emotion and has a chance at a new beginning. We salute you Dwyane Wade. That goes above and beyond. Merry Christmas everyone, especially to you Mr. Wade.

The way I read that story, DWade's foundation provided the house and will make the initial few payments, but after that, it will be the family's responsibility.
ReplyDeleteA generous move by Dwyane, no doubt. But not exactly a gift of a house - more like the gift of a place for the family to live so soon after they were displaced.
