Lately, Pat hasnāt stopped talking about one player in particular: Packers offensive lineman Lecitus Smith. During one difficult chemo day, she scrolled through reels, smiling at Smithās game-day outfits. That moment sparked an ideaāTheresaās roommate suggested she reach out to Smithās fiancĆ©e, Mya.
At first, it seemed far-fetched, but Theresa took the chance. āI messaged her asking if there was any way I could get a jersey signed for my mom. Even if I bought one, maybe I could get it to her to sign.ā
To her shock, Mya replied within 20 minutes. She asked for Patās jersey size and arrived at the hospital with a signed jersey and a card. āI walked downstairs and was in complete shock,ā Theresa recalled. āShe had a signed jersey and a card; I couldnāt stop thanking her.ā

The moment was captured on video and quickly went viral, racking up over 600,000 views on TikTok. But for Pat, it wasnāt about the viewsāit was about joy. āSheās never had a jersey in her life,ā Theresa said. āShe was smiling so big, calling everyone. She kept asking, āHow do I thank them?ā It meant the world. It brought her so much joy.ā
