特拉維斯·凱爾斯幫助拯救了堪薩斯城居民超過56年的家:“這意味著世界”

 

Travis Kelce may have the NFL Playoffs on his mind this weekend, but he's still making time for the Kansas City community.

特拉維斯·凱爾斯這個周末可能會考慮NFL季后賽，但他仍然為堪薩斯城的社區(qū)騰出時間。
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, recently helped rebuild longtime resident Gloria White’s home after the elderly former athlete’s house fell into disrepair.
這位34歲的堪薩斯城酋長隊邊鋒最近幫助長期居住的前運(yùn)動員格洛麗亞·懷特重建了她的家，因為她的房子年久失修。

Kelce’s foundation, 87 & Running, donated enough money to the Rebuilding Together Kansas City organization to fund the repairs needed at White’s eastern Kansas City home, local outlet KSHB 41 reported this week.
據(jù)當(dāng)?shù)孛襟wKSHB 41本周報道，凱爾斯的基金會87 & Running向堪薩斯城重建組織捐贈了足夠的資金，以資助懷特在堪薩斯城東部的住所所需的維修。

“When we looked at her home, we realized there were lots of other things she needed — a new roof, she needed gutters, she needed safety latches on the doors, she needed work in the bathroom and kitchen," Scott Hickox, the Rebuilding Together Kansas City executive director, told the outlet.
“一起重建堪薩斯城”的執(zhí)行董事斯科特·?？瓶怂垢嬖V媒體:“當(dāng)我們看她的家時，我們意識到她還需要很多其他的東西——一個新的屋頂，她需要排水溝，她需要在門上安裝安全鎖，她需要在浴室和廚房里工作。”

Once Kelce and his foundation found out, Hickox said the NFL star donated enough money to the organization to cover the repair costs.

“For Travis to care enough and his foundation to care enough about his community and what’s happening in Kansas City, this meant the world he could partner with us," Hickox told KSHB.

Kelce, whose romance with Taylor Swift has been the talk of the NFL season, had found out about White and her house through former Chiefs player Otis Taylor, who is married to one of White’s relatives, according to KSHB.
據(jù)KSHB報道，凱爾塞與泰勒·斯威夫特的戀情一直是NFL賽季的熱門話題，她是通過前酋長隊球員奧蒂斯·泰勒了解到懷特和她的房子的，奧蒂斯·泰勒娶了懷特的一個親戚。

The outlet reported that White is an enormous fan of the Chiefs and her house is filled with memorabilia dedicated to her local NFL team, as well as mementos from her own athletic career. 
該媒體報道說，懷特是酋長隊的忠實粉絲，她的房子里堆滿了與當(dāng)?shù)豊FL球隊有關(guān)的紀(jì)念品，以及她自己運(yùn)動生涯的紀(jì)念品。

White was a barrier-breaking athlete in her youth, becoming the first Black cheerleader at her Topeka, Kansas middle school. Later, White also competed at the Olympic Trials in Abilene, Texas.
懷特年輕時是一名突破障礙的運(yùn)動員，她在堪薩斯州托皮卡的中學(xué)成為第一位黑人啦啦隊長。后來，懷特還參加了在得克薩斯州阿比林舉行的奧運(yùn)會選拔賽。

KSHB reported that White’s home was falling apart, however, leading her to call Rebuilding Together Kansas City for help. The organization assessed that White needed a wide range of repairs done to the house, including sewer system repairs, new doors, new basement steps, a new hot water heater, a new kitchen sink, safety bars in the bathroom and fire safety equipment, among other repairs. 
據(jù)KSHB報道，懷特的家正在分崩離析，這讓她打電話給“重建堪薩斯城”尋求幫助。該組織評估稱，懷特需要對房子進(jìn)行廣泛的維修，包括下水道系統(tǒng)維修、新門、新地下室臺階、新熱水器、新廚房水槽、浴室安全欄和消防安全設(shè)備等維修。
