Flying with the Eagles

Posted by

When content creator Zach Dereniowski (@mdmotivator) gave young Philadelphia Eagles fan Declan LeBaron a choice between a mascot Mystery Bird plushie or $1000 cash at his local Dollar Tree store, Declan chose the stuffed animal. Little did he know what would happen next.

Dressed in full Eagles swag, Declan thought he was on his way to a party at the hospital where he receives treatment for systemic juvenile arthritis. Zach surprised Declan by giving him the $1000 anyway, along with tickets to the NFC Championship game the next day! But instead of keeping the money, Declan gave it all away to other shoppers in the store “to be kind.” This kid already has a winning attitude!
