Warrick Dunn helps single father
Former Falcons' star Warrick Dunn has changed the life of a single dad and his 10-year-old son by giving them a new home.
ATLANTA - Former Atlanta Falcons' star, Warrick Dunn, has once again shown his unwavering commitment to changing lives. This time, the beneficiary is Nate Johnson, a single father from Florida, and his 10-year-old son.
Nate Johnson fulfilled his dream of becoming a first-time homeowner thanks to the benevolence of Habitat for Humanity, an organization that has been instrumental in providing homes to families in need. Johnson's journey took a remarkable turn when he arrived at his new home this week, as Warrick Dunn himself was waiting in the driveway with a surprise that would prove to be life-changing.
Dunn, through his charitable foundation, typically focuses on supporting single mothers. However, in a rare and heartwarming twist, Nate Johnson became only the sixth father to receive assistance in the history of the charity, which spans over 25 years.
Dunn presented him with a $5,000 down-payment assistance check, making Johnson's journey to homeownership significantly more manageable. But Dunn didn't stop there; he also extended his generosity by gifting Johnson and his son $10,000 worth of furnishings from Aaron's, ensuring that their new home would be both comfortable and complete.
