Eric Carmona the founder of the Tua Tagovailoa fan club known as TuAnon, recently died in a car accident. A GoFundMe page has been created to support him family.
One of the contributors is Tua himself. He gave $10,000 of the $67,322 that has been raised to date.
Tagovailoa was asked about the gesture during a Wednesday press conference with reporters.
“He’s a diehard fan about me, but out of my respect to him, I mean, he basically not just covered me but the entire Dolphins,” Tagovailoa said. “For me to have done that, Tyreek [Hill] was able to do the same. Other guys have been able to do the same as well, to donate. But I just want his wife and his kids to know that we’re praying for them and that we’re thinking of them.”
If you’re a Dolphins fan or just a fan of football who has the kind of passion Eric Carmona had for his favorite team, peel off a few bucks and make a difference for four young children who have lost their father.
Carmona, a Navy veteran, was only 30 years old. He is survived by his wife, Vanessa, and four children.
