HOUSTON (AP) -- Three-year-old Aaron Carter timidly hoisted a small football skyward to Saints receiver Joe Horn, who reached down and gave the boy a hug before signing.
The boy's grandmother, Jeanne Carter, says seeing Aaron happy made her smile for the first time all week. For thousands of Hurricane Katrina refugees inside the Astrodome on Saturday, meeting Horn was a much-needed morale boost.
``Anybody can throw money around at these people, but they need love,'' said Horn, who spent three hours signing autographs, holding babies and playing games with children. ``They need to be able to feel me. So when I leave, I hope they feel a little better.''
Horn made good on a promise after the Saints' last preseason game Thursday by driving to Houston to spend time with refugees.
