CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 9 (UPI) — Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera returned $5 from a fan who gave him her tooth fairy money to help his family after their house burned down.
Harmonie Frederick sent $5 of her saved tooth fairy money to Rivera after his house burned down in January. She said she sent the money, “So he won’t have to be homeless, waiting for his house to be built back.”
Rivera wrote back to Frederick when he sent back the $5.
“Thank you for your concern. We are all fine, our dogs included. I appreciate your five dollars but our insurance will cover the rebuilding of our house. Thanks, Coach Rivera,” he wrote in a letter provided to WLTX.
Frederick will now save the money for college — a decision applauded by Rivera.
