ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- For the past five years, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and his girlfriend-turned-fiancee-turned wife, Kelly, have spent a little bit of time each holiday season giving back. They didn’t always make it public. They just wanted to try and help out some people in the Detroit community.
Typically, Stafford and his wife would pick one or two families they had heard were going through difficult times and buy Christmas gifts for them. This year, they picked the families of two police officers killed in the line of duty.
One of the families, according to Fox 2 in Detroit, was the family of Detroit Police Corporal Myron Jarrett.
