The only thing I grabbed out of my house on the morning of November 8 as The Camp Fire in Paradise, CA consumed the entire town, was my Tom Brady #12 Game Jersey!" Christian wrote. "I lost everything... (GO PATRIOTS)."
"So many heart wrenching stories of loss from my home state...but you're crazy Christian!" Brady captioned his post. "Can anyone get me an address to send a ball to go with the jersey?"
The photos show Christian’s home destroyed by the fires and Christian holding his Brady jersey. No update yet on whether Brady has found a place to send the football.
