“My mom is in Seattle right now, and she’s helping build, basically, these portable hospitals, in a way, in and around the community in Seattle, so people can check for coronavirus and everything else,” Wilson told host Mike Tirico of NBC Sports’ Lunch Talk Live program.
“There are so many people that are doing that. I think about all of the people I’ve been able to meet, the nurses and the doctors, it’s a real thing. Those people on the front lines, sacrificing their lives potentially, those are true heroes. Those people make the difference and whatever we can do to help is what we’re always thinking about.”
Wilson says this effort is nothing new for his mother, that while he was growing up she was always “in the midst of the fire” working as that nurse in emergency rooms.
“I didn’t grow up with much. I didn’t have much,” Wilson told Tirico. “You know, at one point my family was bankrupt, pretty much. So we couldn’t do much, you know. But people were able to give back to us and serve as much as they could. I think that’s what God put us on this earth for, is to be able to give back, and love, and care.
Wilson and Ciara have pledged to provide one million meals for those that need them through Seattle’s Food LifeLine food bank during the COVID-19 outbreak.
