Ameer Abdullah blog: Detroit community has helped me grow

This Tuesday I attended the Warrick Dunn Charities' Homes for the Holidays program with the Lions. I was just excited to be a part of it. I loved sharing that moment and having the opportunity to meet such a humble and well-deserving family. To see them have their lives change in the matter of an hour, it’s really special to me. It was really good and something I’ll always remember.

I feel like the Detroit community has helped me grow a lot as a young man. To see some of the struggles that the city has gone through and to see how hard they’re fighting to get up out of that struggle is encouraging.
