Derrick Rose has a big heart. He has offered to pay for the funeral of Jonylah Watkins. In case you didn’t know Jonylah Watkins was the six-month old baby who was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting on March 11, 2013.She was shot five times along with her father Jonathan Watkins 25, who was seriously wounded.
NBC Chicago.com reports:
Rose, the Chicago Bulls, made the offer, according to Rev. Corey Brooks, who is a spokesman for the family of little Jonylah.
Rose was also said to have paid for the funeral of slain rapper Lil’ Jo Jo, who was shot and killed while riding a bike last September.
The Englewood native – who recently became a father last October when his son, Derrick Rose Jr. was born – has always felt a close connection to the plight of kids in Chicago, as evidenced by his speaking out during the recent Chicago Public School strike, and him shedding tears over the many obstacles that kids face during the launch of his new Adidas sneaker, the Rose 3.0 in September.
