Hurts connected with the Pennsylvania family through the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
Jalen Hurts took a trip to Nottingham, Penn. during the holiday season and visited a 7-year-old boy named Erick and his family. Hurts brought a special gift with him on his trip to western Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia's quarterback donated $30,000 to the family of seven to provide them with a check to put toward a new home. Hurts' donation came in partnership with the
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, which works to support those battling childhood cancer.
"I know they've experienced a lot of adversity. They've had to deal with a lot of different things," Hurts told ESPN's Tim McManus. "But one thing I like to do is be encouraging at all times, uplift those around me, and I just wanted to make an impact in the city of Philadelphia, in this area."
Hurts invited the boy and his family to join the Eagles at a game or practice in 2021.
Philadelphia's quarterback will enter his second year in the NFL next season and looks to build upon a four-start rookie campaign. Hurts is likely to battle Carson Wentz for the starting quarterback spot in 2021.
