She worked three jobs to make ends meet.

And the Texans’ three-time Pro Bowl left offensive tackle hosted a special event for single mothers on Saturday after previously surprising them on Mother’s Day at Gracewood with flowers and a spa day.
The day included a shopping experience at Nordstrom’s, a trip to the hair salon, the presidential suite at JW Marriott Downtown and a fancy dinner at Eddie V’s Prime Seafood.
His philanthropy focuses on single mothers through his company Divine Tree, whose motto is “the gift that keeps giving,” and sponsors on this event included GLD, AK Law Firm and Maybelline, partnering with JW Marriott Downtown and Eddie V’s with Legacy Philanthropy.
“My mom worked tirelessly to be able to provide for my brother and I growing up,” Tunsil said. “I always admired her hard work and dedication as a single parent. When I was younger, I wished I could have given her a day to relax and experience something nice. For that reason, I wanted to do something special for other single mothers to help lighten their burdens this Mother’s Day.”
