Santa wasn¹t the only one handing out presents on Christmas. NBA star Dwayne Wade presented Dawn Smith of South Florida a new home, according to AOL.com. The family lost all their belongings previously when Smith’s nephew
accidentally burned down her house. The Miami Heat player surprised the
family with keys to a new home, along with furniture and gifts making their
season bright. “It’s not about what you’re going to receive — it’s what you
can give to others from what you’ve received,” he says.
