Tom Brady Sending Football To CA Fan Whose Home Caught Fire

FOXBOROUGH, MA — Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady wants to show support for a fan who lost everything in the Camp Fire in California.

Despite losing his home when flames engulfed all of Paradise, CA, Patriots fan Christian Holland grabbed one thing before he evacuated.

"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!" Holland said while posting a picture of his destroyed home on Instagram. "I lost everything.."

Brady, who was born in California was shocked by Holland's dedication and shared the post on Instagram. Brady asked for help sending Holland a football to go with his jersey.

"So many heart wrenching stories of loss from my home state...but you're crazy Christian!" Brady said. "Can anyone get me an address to send a ball to go with the jersey?"

In Brady's weekly Friday press conference, he confirmed he got a hold of Holland.

"You think about the effect that you can have on certain people, not just in this part of the country but in California, Brady said. I know we got a hold of him and (am) going to send him something. But, it’s a tough situation I think everyone out in California was dealing with."

The Camp Fire that began earlier this month ravaged through more than 12,500 homes and burned over 152,000 acres in Butte County. The city of Paradise and the surrounding area was completely destroyed. 85 people lost their lives.
