TEXAS – While the whole community is still not over the pain of the recent devastating flash floods in Texas, a quiet action from New York Yankees star Anthony Volpe has moved the whole country. Without saying a word, without the need for cameras, the 23-year-old shortstop quietly paid for all funeral expenses for the victims’ families, and at the same time provided financial support to the survivors who are in dire straits after the disaster.
According to confirmation from a local funeral representative, Anthony Volpe quietly transferred the money under his own name, without going through the team, and requested to keep his identity confidential. However, a member of the staff support team could not hide his tension when sharing:
“He did not come to attract attention. He came to listen, to share, to help. When families did not know how to pay for funeral expenses, Volpe stood up for them.”
This information was only revealed after a touching handwritten letter from the victim’s family sent to the Yankees’ office went viral on social media. In the letter, they thanked “the boy with white hands, a heart of gold and a limitless spirit.”
Volpe later shortened his words:
“They lost everything. What I did was the least I could do.”
For fans, it was more than just a home run off the field – it was proof that a true hero not only wins the game but also stands up for people when they are most hurt.
