A Philadelphia Eagles player traded his football cleats for dancing shoes to make a Texas girl’s dream come true after tragedy.
Eleven-year-old Audrey Soape lost both her father and grandfather last year. When the time came for her school’s daddy-daughter dance, Audrey’s mother Holly reached out to her favorite NFL player, Eagles safety Anthony Harris, for help on social media.
“I told him about the situation, and surprisingly he was more than willing to do it,” Holly Soape told “Fox & Friends” Friday. “It happened really fast. He said yes probably about a week before, so it was kind of a whirlwind.”
Audrey was nervous to meet her date but said the NFL player broke the ice by asking her about her day and talking about football.
“I was very nervous because I didn’t know what I was going to say,” Audrey told co-host Ainsley Earhart. “At first it was kind of awkward because we weren’t talking yet… But then he kind of came up and started talking to me.”
Holly expressed gratitude for Harris’ act of kindness after a tough year for the middle schooler.
