Watch: Rams' Austin, Quinn surprise family in need with furnished home
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin and linebacker Robert Quinn surprised a family transitioning from homelessness with a fully furnished, four-bedroom apartment on Tuesday.
Working with United Way and LA Family Housing, Austin and Quinn bought new beds, a sofa, televisions, a dining room set, and more for Shwonna Cox and her six children, according to Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. The family had been staying in interim housing, but was forced to move twice over the past few weeks due to wildfires in the area.
