Patriotic Gold Medalist Tamyra Mensah Uses Prize Money To Buy Food Truck For Widowed Mother

Unapologetically patriotic U.S. gold medalist Tamyra Mensah-Stock is using her Olympic prize money to buy her mother a food truck.

The wrestler said she’s seen her mother struggle since the day her father died in a tragic car accident when Mensah-Stock was still in high school — he was driving home from one of her wrestling matches. Now, the 28-year-old wants to ease her mother’s burdens and help fulfill her “dream.”
