I don't feel like pasting so in a nutshell: A little homeless boy in NY said Chad85 was his fave NFL player. He was part of Children Mending Hearts where he got to make a wish. His wish was to go to football camp, which was granted by Deion Sanders. Just to give him and extra special something, Chad85 gave him a jersey, met him in person, and had the crowd sing happy birthday to him (it was little kid's b-day).

While all of that was very touching....wouldn't offering something to him and his mother that pertains to THEIR HOMELESSNESS be even more touching? A jersey and a ticket to football camp are extremely touching, but COME ON. If you're going to go above and beyond, meeting his more immediate needs would have made just as good publicity.
