Stephen Curry’s Heartwarming Surprise for His 80-Year-Old High School Janitor
NBA superstar Stephen Curry returned to his alma mater, Charlotte Christian School, for a quiet visit—only to encounter Mr. Wilson, the school janitor who once supported him, still working at 80 years old.
“Mr. Wilson? It’s me… Stephen.”
Moved by the reunion, Curry invited the elderly janitor to dinner, where he learned about Mr. Wilson’s struggles—his wife’s stroke, a crumbling home, and financial hardship.
Curry quietly launched Project Homecoming, assembling builders and designers to completely renovate the Wilsons’ home. In just 10 days, the house was transformed: a new roof, accessible bathroom, medical-grade bed, and even raised garden beds for Mrs. Wilson.
When the couple returned, they were met with a surprise:
“It’s home,” Curry said. “But now, it’s the kind of home you deserve.”
Inside, they found the paid-off deed, a lifetime medical trust, and an honorary title in Curry’s foundation.
“I once gave him keys to the gym,” Mr. Wilson shared, “and he gave me the keys to my life.”
The story went viral—not for publicity, but for pure humanity.
