After seeing a post on social media about the tragedy, Henry decided to step up and help Taylor.

“I saw the tweet and I was just touched by it, losing a home is such a tragic occurrence,” Henry told WZTV. “Not only did I see the tweet, but I saw that he was a Titans fan and also a first responder. Nashville has been through so much as a community – the tornado, the pandemic going on, and then the Christmas bombing. I just wanted to be able to help someone in need and someone who has been helping everyone else throughout this pandemic.

I was just touched by what I had seen about Jeremy and his family on Twitter and just wanted to do anything I could to help them. Just touched by his family and wanted to help Jeremy in his own time of need.”

Henry and his foundation, Two All, donated $10,000 to the family while Campbell’s donated another $5,000.

“It’s definitely been a blessing to my family. I’m very overwhelmed. I really appreciate it. I don’t even know what to say,” Taylor said.

It isn’t much you can say in a situation like this other than thank you. Losing everything in a fire is a tragedy that is hard to overcome. Props to Derrick Henry for stepping up and taking the initiative to use his money to help a family in need.
