After hearing one of his biggest fans needed help, Indiana Pacers star Paul George stepped up in a big way.ย 

The family of 11-year-old Daisy Esterline, who has cerebral palsy, had been trying to raise money to buy a wheelchair-accessible van. The family had set up a GoFundMe page with the goal of raising $12,000.

Howard Esterline sent Georgeโ€”who had previously met Daisyโ€”a tweet this past weekend to ask him for some help.ย
