    Travis Kelce may have the NFL Playoffs on his mind this weekend, but he's still making time for the Kansas City community.

    特拉维斯·凯尔斯这个周末可能会考虑NFL季后赛,但他仍然为堪萨斯城的社区腾出时间。
    The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, recently helped rebuild longtime resident Gloria White’s home after the elderly former athlete’s house fell into disrepair.
    这位34岁的堪萨斯城酋长队边锋最近帮助长期居住的前运动员格洛丽亚·怀特重建了她的家,因为她的房子年久失修。

    Kelce’s foundation, 87 & Running, donated enough money to the Rebuilding Together Kansas City organization to fund the repairs needed at White’s eastern Kansas City home, local outlet KSHB 41 reported this week.
    据当地媒体KSHB 41本周报道,凯尔斯的基金会87 & Running向堪萨斯城重建组织捐赠了足够的资金,以资助怀特在堪萨斯城东部的住所所需的维修。

    “When we looked at her home, we realized there were lots of other things she needed — a new roof, she needed gutters, she needed safety latches on the doors, she needed work in the bathroom and kitchen," Scott Hickox, the Rebuilding Together Kansas City executive director, told the outlet.
    “一起重建堪萨斯城”的执行董事斯科特·希科克斯告诉媒体:“当我们看她的家时,我们意识到她还需要很多其他的东西——一个新的屋顶,她需要排水沟,她需要在门上安装安全锁,她需要在浴室和厨房里工作。”

    Once Kelce and his foundation found out, Hickox said the NFL star donated enough money to the organization to cover the repair costs.
    希考克斯说,凯尔塞和他的基金会发现后,这位美国国家橄榄球联盟球星向该组织捐赠了足够的钱来支付维修费用。

    “For Travis to care enough and his foundation to care enough about his community and what’s happening in Kansas City, this meant the world he could partner with us," Hickox told KSHB.
    希科克斯告诉KSHB电视台:“对于特拉维斯和他的基金会来说,他足够关心他的社区和堪萨斯城正在发生的事情,这意味着他可以与我们合作。”

    Kelce, whose romance with Taylor Swift has been the talk of the NFL season, had found out about White and her house through former Chiefs player Otis Taylor, who is married to one of White’s relatives, according to KSHB.
    据KSHB报道,凯尔塞与泰勒·斯威夫特的恋情一直是NFL赛季的热门话题,她是通过前酋长队球员奥蒂斯·泰勒了解到怀特和她的房子的,奥蒂斯·泰勒娶了怀特的一个亲戚。

    The outlet reported that White is an enormous fan of the Chiefs and her house is filled with memorabilia dedicated to her local NFL team, as well as mementos from her own athletic career. 
    该媒体报道说,怀特是酋长队的忠实粉丝,她的房子里堆满了与当地NFL球队有关的纪念品,以及她自己运动生涯的纪念品。

    White was a barrier-breaking athlete in her youth, becoming the first Black cheerleader at her Topeka, Kansas middle school. Later, White also competed at the Olympic Trials in Abilene, Texas.
    怀特年轻时是一名突破障碍的运动员,她在堪萨斯州托皮卡的中学成为第一位黑人啦啦队长。后来,怀特还参加了在得克萨斯州阿比林举行的奥运会选拔赛。

    KSHB reported that White’s home was falling apart, however, leading her to call Rebuilding Together Kansas City for help. The organization assessed that White needed a wide range of repairs done to the house, including sewer system repairs, new doors, new basement steps, a new hot water heater, a new kitchen sink, safety bars in the bathroom and fire safety equipment, among other repairs. 
    据KSHB报道,怀特的家正在分崩离析,这让她打电话给“重建堪萨斯城”寻求帮助。该组织评估称,怀特需要对房子进行广泛的维修,包括下水道系统维修、新门、新地下室台阶、新热水器、新厨房水槽、浴室安全栏和消防安全设备等维修。
