DeMarcus Cousins Surprised a Family with a Car for Christmas
By The Big Lead
DeMarcus Cousins is admirably playing the role of Santa Claus this holiday season. He recently hosted a shopping spree for underprivileged children. His latest bit of seasonal giving involved a 2016 Chevy Malibu and a deserving family.
"Cousins reached out to the Kings organization to select a family in need to donate a vehicle to. With a nomination from Graciela Garcia of the Washington Unified School District, they selected Maurice and Selena because of their remarkable story. Williams and Pina are raising their 3-year-old daughter Marina, in addition to Selena’s two younger twin sisters J’nay and J’nette Sims, who were twice abandoned – once by their biological mother, and then again by family friends who didn’t want them anymore. Malnourished and neglected, the twins, almost six-years-old at the time, were left at the front door of Maurice and Selena, who then contacted Child Protective Services for help. They worked to try to get full custody of the J’nay and J’nette and raise them as their own, beginning an adoption process. In Oct. 2015, Maurice and Selena were granted full guardianship of the twins."
‘Tis the season for this kind of stuff — and the suspension of cynicism.
