TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- Being able to walk again will be that much better with a fresh pair of Yeezys on his feet.
- Just being acknowledged by one of your favorite artists -- especially a star as big as Kanye -- feels special.
- Not quite as generous as Kendrick Lamar’s gift of a van, but it’s the thought that counts.

Kanye West inspires millions, but who inspires Kanye?
Yeezy was moved after hearing about Tyler Wesley, a fan who suffered a spinal cord injury five years ago in a car accident. Tyler broke the C-4 vertebrae on his neck, which left him paralyzed from the shoulders down.
After doctors told him he would never walk again, Tyler defied the odds — getting back on his feet and moving around with the help of therapy and a walker. Kanye was so touched by the story that he sent over a pair of custom white Yeezy Boosts 350 with a note saying “You show the world anything is possible.” (TMZ)
