Dwyane Wade: Florida's Hero


I found this story while watching the news on Christmas Day, and I'm sorry that i didn't put this on here sooner, but this story truly is a great one. Dwyane Wade bought a home for a Florida Family, just in time for Christmas.

A Florida woman, had a nephew of hers accidentally burn down their home. So, on Christmas Eve, Wade presented Dawn Smith, with the keys to her home, as well as furnishings, clothes and gifts, and made commitments to make some of the mortgage payments.

This story truly shows that Dwyane wade is a true hero, not just from rejuvenating the Miami Heat franchise, but also bringing hope to the families around him. Dwyane Wade is not just a great player, but also a great person, as he told the associated press, "It's not about what you're going to receive--it's what you can give to others from what you've received."
