Young Jeezy Grants Mother's Wish For Disabled Son
Published Monday, February 25, 2008 5:14 PM
By Rudy West

Rapper Young Jeezy will grant the winner of his "Make Your Dreams Come True" contest tomorrow evening (February 26) at Justin’s Restaurant in his hometown of Atlanta.

 

The contest offered one lucky winner a chance to have a wish granted by Young Jeezy, who held a contest inviting fans to share their dreams and aspirations.

 

The winning submission came from Tamara Jenkins-Wilson from North Carolina, who wrote the rapper about her disabled 13-year-old son.

 

"My ultimate dream would be for me to provide a Wheelchair Accessible Van for my son, Davon Jenkins. Davon is 13-years-old and has cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair."

 

Jenkins-Wilson’s husband is currently in Iraq, serving the United States military.

 

"I physically lift him in and out of our vehicle when we need to go to appointments and such," Jenkins-Wilson said.

 

Jeezy will give Jenkins-Wilson the Wheelchair Accessible Van and treat her entire family to dinner tomorrow the invite-only ceremony.

This isn't for tax breaks folks. Please understand how that works. Rich people do not give away money for tax breaks.
Why cant people possibly be doing something because they want to help somebody out?

I just hope this isn't bullshit, the story almost sounds like the one I heard on CNN about a mother lying saying her husband died in Iraq so her daughter could get Hannah Montana tickets, I'm not jumping to conclusions just hope this is what it appears to be

Straight up what i was thinking.  Granted the van aint cheap with the electronics...but a van and a dinner for the winner of his foundation?  Damn i'd think they'd get more than that for sure

still good looking jeezy

@ reyno626:
that's EXACTLY what rich folks do dude...give away money and/or goods to cut their taxable income down....sheeeeeeeit, u don't even have to be rich to do that tho homey.....just money-minded..!!  
but i didn't say it to down the dude....if u give anything of value to someone who's in need of it, then it's a good look no matter WHO u are..!!!!  It's called GENEROSITY...!
