Kyrie Irving has turned his passion for social justice into practical initiatives to improve communities. He tries to deal with important challenges through the Kyrie Andrew Irving Foundation. He is not hesitant to use his position and resources for the greater good. His foundation’s work still impacts many lives. Some of its activities include sponsoring education, mentoring initiatives, and providing essential resources to underprivileged neighborhoods.

But as his most recent act of compassion shows, the Dallas Mavericks player’s generosity knows no limits. Irving didn’t waste any time in offering assistance after learning about the condition of a 93-year-old widow with financial difficulties. However, this was after he helped Nike get $2,600,000,000 richer.

Kyrie Irving helps out an elderly woman in need

Kyrie Irving made a significant donation of $40,000 to aid Josephine Wright, a 93-year-old resident of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. He did so to help in her court battle to defend her cherished family home from an impending threat. The Developer Bailey Point Investment Group has been fighting her in court in order to build a 147-unit complex close to the old woman’s property. Wright steadfastly refused to sell the prized piece of land despite many offers that reached as high as $39,000.

However, after she refused to give up the land, even went to the point of harassing her.
