After she devoted years to supporting her son’s dream, Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore repaid the favor for his mother, Heri, with the gift of a lifetime.

The 24-year-old Barmore shared a video via Instagram on Sunday evening, with the defensive lineman welcoming his mother to her new home.

“All for you momma,” Barmore wrote in the Instagram video caption with heart emojis.

“I love it,” Heri Barmore is heard saying in the video as she walks past the kitchen and into a sun-filled living room. “I love it. It’s huge.”

Both Barmore and his mother embrace during the video, which ends with both of them posing for a photo in front of the house.

Since he first arrived in Foxborough in 2021, Barmore has found several avenues to support his mother and pay tribute to her. 

Over his first three seasons with the Patriots, Barmore has worn customized cleats during the NFL’s “My Cause My Cleats” initiative that raises money for charities and organizations dedicated to multiple sclerosis (MS) causes — including the National MS Society. Heri Barmore has battled MS for most of her son’s life. 

“I’ve seen the pain they go through. Taking needles every day to keep them healthy, can’t be in the heat for a long time because it might trigger them,” Barmore said in a story with Patriots.com back in 2021. “I’m doing this because of my mom. When I was young, I didn’t even [understand] what happened … every day I just fight for my mom.”
