A Philadelphia Eagles fan with Stage 4 ovarian cancer received a touching gesture from Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith's fiancée, Mya Danielle.
Theresa Schmus has watched her mom, Pat, battle a tough road with cancer treatments and chemotherapy at Penn Medicine. During one challenging day, Theresa said her mom was scrolling through her Facebook reels and speaking about her favorite Eagles player, wide receiver DeVonta Smith.
"He's my favorite. Look at his outfit. He looks so good!" Theresa told CBS News Philadelphia.
Theresa Schmus's roommate had an idea: "Why don't you just DM his fiancée?"
Theresa was skeptical at first, but she decided to give it a try. "I messaged her asking if there was any way I could get a jersey signed for my mom," she said. "Even if I bought one, maybe I could get it to her to sign?"
To Theresa's disbelief, within 20 minutes, Mya, Smith's fiancée, replied. She asked for Pat's jersey size and said she'd be at the hospital in 15 minutes with a gift for Pat.
Theresa Schmus posted a video of the surprise gift presentation of a signed DeVonta Smith jersey on TikTok, which quickly went viral. It received more than 600,000 views and made her mom so happy.

"She's never had a jersey in her life," Theresa said. "She was smiling so big, calling everyone. She kept asking, 'How do I thank them?' It meant the world. It brought her so much joy."
