Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell went above and beyond for a young girl who wanted to take a photo with him Friday, gifting her a pair of signed shoes.
According to a GoFundMe page, Maya is 10 years old and was recently diagnosed with a rare form of malignant yolk sac germ cell cancer.
Donovan hooked my cousin up with some shoes. She was just diagnosed with cancer. This guy is too good to be true. pic.twitter.com/lZi1QhzLiL
