The love mothers
have for their child is indescribable by words. No matter the circumstances
their family is in you can count on the mother to find a way to make it happen.
Over the weekend Erica Wilson held the inaugural event of her 88Blessings
foundation that’s geared towards helping single moms. Ms. Wilson is the mother of Jacksonville
Jaguars newly re-signed wide receiver Allen Hurns. She is a single mom that
pushed her son to follow his dreams and she’ll take care of the things he
couldn’t control.
A portion of the
event dedicated to honor Hurns resigning to a new 4-year/40 million dollar
deal. The amount of the contract hasn’t changed the person Hurns has been his
entire life. He is humbled and appreciative of the deal. “Its only the
beginning” Hurns utters as fans congratulate him on the success. Special guest
Drew Rosenhaus (Allen’s Agent) gave a few remarks on Erica and Hurns
relationship, “I never seen a mother/son relationship like this; I wish me and
my daughter grow to have a relationship like there.” The unconditional love
between the two is what drove Hurns to work hard to gain this substantial
amount in the contract.
An silent auction was held to raise money for the foundation. Thousands of dollars was raised for the foundation to kick-off their charitable duties.
It was a
marvelous event to honor 88 single mothers throughout the state of Florida. The
mothers were showered with gifts and recognition of their hard work and
dedication to their respective families. Jacksonville native and American Idol
contestant Tyanna Jones added a stellar performance of Fantasia’s Lose To Win
song. Her voice led many of the audience members to become emotional with tears
of joy. The song empathizes what single mothers go through to make sure their
family have the essentials of everyday life.
