A very feelgood TikTok video has been making the rounds on Tuesday, garnering thousands of views, and it is all because of the generosity of Mya Danielle, the fiancee of Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith.
“My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer about 4 years ago,” the caption of the TikTok video posted by @theresaschmus reads. “She’s been battling recurrence after recurrence and one thing that keeps her going is her love of Philly sports. Whether it’s Phillies, Flyers, Eagles, or Sixers… she never misses a game. She hasn’t been able to stop talking about DeVonta Smith and how he’s her favorite player.
“Today was a rough morning for her, so I took a risk and DMed his fiancee asking if I could get a jersey signed by him. Instead, she drove all the way to the hospital and hand delivered a signed jersey and a thoughtful card.
“My mom to this moment is still shaking and cannot believe it. She’s never had a jersey and never been to a game and she can’t believe that someone would do this for her. I hope this shows everyone just how amazing the Philly community really is and to DeVonta and Mya, we cannot put into words what this means to my mom. We are [eternally grateful] and cannot thank you enough.”
