Chad attended the Children Mending Hearts Gala to surprise one of his biggest fans. His name is Ruben St. Hilaire, Jr. What make the story in even more endearing is the fact that the little boy had no idea Chad was going to be there. He thought he was there to be presented with a certificate to attend a football camp that Deion Sanders donated. He wrote Chad the cutest letter which they had on hand and had Ruben read it before Chad entered the scene. The video of the whole thing is HERE. Have your hankies ready.
Yahoo Sports Reports:
Nine-year-old Ruben St. Hilaire, Jr, who lives with this mother in a homeless shelter in New York City, received an autographed jersey from Ochocinco after sending a letter. He then sent a second letter that would have melted the heart of the hardest individual.
Mr. Johnson, you really make me happy. One of my goals in my future life is to be just like you when I grow up. I wonder who was your role model when you were little? I have three role model(s) in my life that’s my mom, Mr. President Barack Obama and my favorite football player Mr. Chad Johnson. To me you are the best football player in the NFL. May God bless you and your family happy holidays.
I was in tears. I didn’t see Deion there, but he deserves kudos too. Whisper your comment below
