Arizona Cardinals star defensive end JJ Watt offered to help a fan who was selling her sneakers and jersey to help pay for her grandfather’s funeral.
Jennifer Simpson, whose Twitter bio says she is a Texans and Astros fan, tweeted on June 23rd that her grandpa died unexpectedly, and she was trying to raise funds to help cover the cost of the funeral through a Facebook Fundraiser. On Wednesday, she tweeted she was holding a bake sale in Houston to raise money, tagging members of the Astros and Texans to ask if any were in town to buy a dessert.
She then tagged Watt, a former Texan, in a tweet that said she was selling a women's edition pair of his Reebok shoes for $60 and a Watt Texans jersey for $30 to help cover funeral expenses. That got the attention of the five-time Pro Bowler, who has 5.6 million followers on Twitter. He offered to help in a quote tweet, which led to many others on social media making donations of their own.
