(Special from EURWeb) – Wow, good guy Warrick Dunn has done it again.
The former NFL running back’s charity (Warrick Dunn Charities) still helps Tampa Bay, Fla single parents achieve the goal of home ownership.
“For me, it’s all about when the family walks through, it’s all about them,” a smiling Dunn told FOX 13 News.
Recently, that family was Xeniya McBroom and her daughter. They were handed the keys to a new, fully furnished home.
“I was very surprised to see it all decorated and furnished in here. It’s a big help and it looks beautiful,” McBroom said.
Dunn’s ‘Home for the Holidays’ charity paired with Habitat for Humanity to make this first-time homebuyer’s dream come true.
Dunn’s charity also contributed a $5,000 down payment on the house to give the family a financial head start.
Dunn has now helped 145 single parents achieve home ownership. He says it’s his way of paying it forward.
“I’m thankful I’ve had the platform and opportunity to help people,” he said.
