Bam Adebayo paid for family’s entire year of rent to help single mother
avoid eviction
Bam Adebayo幫忙一個帶著兩對雙胞胎的單親媽付一年的房租,避免他們被趕出家門
By Brad Sullivan
Miami Heat big man Bam Adebayo displayed his philanthropic side on Wednesday
by giving a single mother of two sets of twins in Miami a whole year’s worth
of rent to avoid eviction from her home for the next year.
星期三的時候,熱火中鋒大個Bam Adebayo展現了他慈善的一面,他幫忙了帶著兩對雙胞胎
的單親媽媽付了一年的房租,避免他們在來年被趕出家門。
“It’s gotta be No. 1,” Adebayo told Complex exclusively. “Just helping
somebody like that, in that situation, and all the negative situations that’
s happened to her the last couple of months, that’s definitely top of my
list.”
「這是當務之急,」Adebayo說。「就是在這樣的狀況下幫助像發生這樣子事情的人,這個
媽媽在過去幾個月發生了那麼多不幸的事情,這些就是在我首先要做的事件清單上的。」
Travillia Bogan’s financial situation has been negatively affected over the
past two years because of the effects of an auto accident.
Travillia Bogan因為車禍的關係,在過去兩年在經濟上受到嚴重的打擊。
In addition to paying Bogan’s rent, Adebayo will also use the money that he’
s donating to improve both the landscaping as well as the decor inside the
home
除了幫忙付房租外,Adebayo也捐錢幫助她改善房子環境以及裝潢房子內部。
Adebayo says the mother conveyed her happiness not through words, but through
sheer tears of joy.
Adebayo說這位母親沒用言語表達她的喜悅,而是用喜極而泣的方式。
“You could feel it through tears of joy,” says Adebayo. “There was no
conversation. It was pure joy for her and her family. They’re not getting
evicted for Christmas.”
「可以從那眼淚中感受到她的喜悅,」Adebayo說。「這中間沒有什麼話語。就只是替她跟
她的家人感到開心,他們聖誕節的時候不會被趕出去了。」
Within the past few months, Adebayo’s own financial situation has improved
to the point that he was able to offer such generous help. He recently signed
a five-year contract extension worth up to an estimated $195 million.
在過去這幾個月內,Adebayo自己的經濟狀況也是大幅改善,所以他也才能夠做這樣子的善
舉。他才跟熱火簽下五年1億9500萬鎂的延長合約。
Adebayo presumably isn’t done with his philanthropy in the years ahead,
which makes his gestures almost as exciting to watch as his play on the court.
Adebayo大概在未來這段期間不會只有做這次的善行,所以他在場上的表現以及場外的行為
都一樣令人期待。
“Through all this philanthropy that I’m doing, I hope that I spark one kid
to change his decision-making, his lifestyle, or who he’s hanging with,”
says Adebayo. “To go from being in the streets and me doing something
special for them that can shift their whole mindset. That’s all I can ask
for.”
「藉由我這樣的善行,我希望我可以啟發一個小孩,讓他做出改變人生的決定,改變他生
活方式,或者他現在正在相處的人,」Adebayo說。「從在街上幫助他們以及我現在為他們
做這些事情,希望能夠可以改變他們的整個心態,我只希望能夠做到這樣。」
