Last year, 11-year-old Audrey Soape lost both her father and grandfather so with her school's upcoming "Daddy-Daughter Dance," her mother wanted to do something big for her. Real big.
So on a whim, she reached out to Audrey's favorite football player, the Philadelphia Eagles safety Anthony Harris, on social media to see if he could do anything for the big day.
Not only did Harris respond, he went above and beyond to make sure Audrey had the most special of days!
Audrey's mom Holly told ABC News. It's kind of far-fetched...it's a big ask, I just asked if he would come—if he'd be willing to come. And he said, 'not only will I come, I want to make sure she feels like a princess."
Harris not only few down to Austin to attend the dance, covered the cost of Audrey's dress, shoes, hair, and makeup! Holly said, "He had a car with a driver, come to the house and pick her up. He really wanted to make sure she had the best possible time."
Harris, who is originally from Richmond, Virginia, told WCAU that he was "just trying to be a human." He said, "You gotta cherish these moments. You never know how long we have here on this Earth. So, the people that you care about, and you love, show support for them."
