"Nine-year-old Ruben St. Hilaire, Jr, who lives with this mother in a homeless shelter in New York City, received an autographed jersey from Ochocinco after sending a letter. He then sent a second letter that would have melted the heart of the hardest individual.
This should be NFL 101....

Mr. Johnson, you really make me happy. One of my goals in my future life is to be just like you when I grow up. I wonder who was your role model when you were little? I have three role model(s) in my life that's my mom, Mr. President Barack Obama and my favorite football player Mr. Chad Johnson. To me you are the best football player in the NFL. May God bless you and your family happy holidays."
So what did Chad Johnson aka Chad Ochocinco do??? Well, while Ruben was reading his letter at the Mending Hearts gala, his hero came out and gave him a gift certificate to football camp, courtesy of Deion Sanders. The bonus? It was Ruben's birthday.....
