Warrick Dunn, a former football player for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has long since retired from the NFL, but he still finds ways to make Florida families happy. According to the Tampa Bay Times, on Tuesday, Dunn gave single mother LaToya Reedy and her 18-year-old son a fully furnished two-bedroom home in St. Petersburg through his charity organization, Warrick Dunn Charities, and a collaboration with Habitat for Humanity.
After entering the house for the first time, LaToya, 39, told the newspaper, “I can be at home now that I’m a homeowner.”
Reedy was having trouble making ends meet as a nursing assistant until she got the keys to her new apartment. She shared a bedroom at her mother’s house with her son AnTrez Reedy, and they slept on the bed alternately for two years.
Regarding the unique occasion, she told the Times, “I can be at peace.” “I can host my family and friends over and bring nostalgic memories to my home.” I’ve always desired a house for myself and my son, and I finally got one. It’s been a difficult, protracted road,” LaToya continued. “We made it through sacrifices and struggle.”
However, Dunn, 44, has assisted a single mother in purchasing their first house before. In actuality, LaToya is currently the 173rd person to get a house from Dunn’s Foundation. Days before Dunn’s eighteenth birthday, his mother Betty Smothers, 36, was shot dead during a robbery, inspiring the former football star to assist other single mothers. Following that, Dunn took on the various duties his mother had carried out as a single parent in order to care for his five other siblings.
He went on, “She was thoughtful, helpful, kind, and compassionate.” “She fulfilled every desire I might have for a spouse. My mom is superwoman in my opinion.
