Once again, Kyrie Irving, the starting point guard for the Dallas Mavericks, has lent his support to those in need. This time, Irving has donated $40,000 to help Josephine Wright, a 93-year-old woman living in Hilton Head Island, SC, in her fight to keep her home.
The Bailey Point Investment Group has been pressuring Wright to sell her property so it can develop the land surrounding her home. At a press conference, Wright said, “I guess they figured I would become so unnerved with the harassment that I would say take it. But they don’t know me. I am here to fight for what I have.”
In response to the situation, Tyler Perry has come out in support of Wright, and now Irving has joined the cause. To help Wright in her fight, her granddaughter Charise Graves initiated a GoFundMe account in May 2023. In the description of the account, Graves wrote, “My name is Charise Graves, granddaughter to Mrs. Josephine Wright, and I am reaching out to you today because my 93-year-old grandmother, a resident of Hilton Head Island, SC, for over 30 years, is in desperate need of your help. Bailey Point Investment, a greedy land development company, is trying to take her property away from her as her land is situated right in the middle of their new residential subdivision, currently under construction. This land has been in our family since the end of the Civil War, and she has poured her heart and soul into maintaining the property for herself and her family to enjoy for generations to come.”
The GoFundMe account has a goal of $350,000, and with Irving's donation, they are now looking for another $100,000 to reach the goal. With the help of Irving and all the other supporters, Wright may be able to keep her home, and the legacy of her family will live on.
