Emotional moment Eagles fan battling health issues is surprised with NFL tickets

An act of kindness saw a child with serious health issues get treated to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch his favorite team in person as they reached the Super Bowl. In a video set up by a content creator, an eight year old Philadelphia Eagles fan named Declan was seen shopping in a grocery store when he was offered a choice between a 'mystery bird' (a plushie of an Eagles mascot) and $1,000 cash.

Declan, who was wearing Eagles gear head-to-toe, opted for the plushie and introduced himself to the man behind the camera, Zachery Dereniowski. It was after he was handed the plushie that Declan revealed he had always wanted to go to an Eagles game - but never did because he has been in the hospital with a serious condition, Systemic Juvenile Arthritis.

Declan said he was actually on the way to the hospital for a party to celebrate the team's appearance in Sunday's NFC Championship game after having been at the facility undergoing treatment 17 times. It was then that Dereniowski decided to surprise Declan with tickets to the NFC title game - and gifted him the $1,000 anyway.
“We’re going to the Super Bowl!” 🥹💚 #eagles #football #nfl #dream #money #kindness #surprise #hospital. Declan, 8, a young fan of the Philadelphia Eagles dealing with serious health issues, was gifted $1k and tickets to last Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Commanders.
