Grandpa At Basketball Game Sees Kids In Need, Buys Them New Shoes

February 12, 2025

A woman on TikTok recently shared a touching story about her grandfather’s kindness at her daughter’s basketball game. While watching from the sidelines, he noticed several kids playing without decent shoes.

Wanting to help, he asked the coach which players needed support the most. After receiving a list, he quietly took action—making sure four kids would step onto the court with brand-new shoes that weekend.
