Young Fan Brought To Tears By Gift Of Patriots Tickets, Tom Brady Jersey
BOSTON (CBS) – A young Patriots fan was brought to tears when she received a Tom Brady jersey and tickets to see the team play at Gillette Stadium.
The Patriots posted a video on Facebook Saturday, showing a young girl named Isabella opening her birthday present a little early. She turns 8 on Oct. 8.
"What is this?" the 7-year-old asks her mom, Gilda Belloste.
The girl pulls a Tom Brady jersey out of the bag, followed by another big surprise.
Bella's present contained two tickets to Sunday's Patriots game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"Going to the game? No you didn't!" the girl exclaims, before breaking down in tears as she hugs her mother.
Isabella became a fan of the Patriots after last season and their Super Bowl run, her mother told WBZ.
She asked her mom for Patriots tickets this season and she said "we will see."
ArQule, an research and design company in Burlington where Gilda works, buys the Putnam seats at the Pats game. Employees put their names in a hat and as luck would have it, Gilda won them.
Gilda's daughter asked for a Brady jersey and she told her maybe in a few weeks she could get one for her birthday. She secretly bought the jersey and hid it and the tickets in her backpack.
She knew Isabella would be excited, but didn't expect her to be quite that excited.
Maybe the tears of joy will keep flowing on Sunday if the Patriots can get a win for Bella while she's in the crowd.
Gilda received an email from a Patriots representative who said owner Robert Kraft saw the video and loved it, so they are getting pregame field passes for Sunday's game.
"See you tomorrow, Bella!" the Patriots posted.
Kickoff Sunday is at 1 p.m. at Gillette Stadium.
