I'm never going to say "Poor me" because think about what they go through. They don't even know if their husband is going to be alive the next day.
They're making peanuts for money, and their husbands are gone for years. To me, that was a way to really put it into perspective. Military wives should look at me and say, "Boo hoo, Chantel. TV Tango: When you did travel, what was your favorite city that wasn't his home team? Chantel Kendall : I have to say Miami. I loved, loved going down to Miami. Each city has a contracted hotel; so every time you go to that city, it's the same hotel that has the contract with Major League Baseball.
The hotel was great down there. The weather was always beautiful. The stadium was not far. If there was one trip we did without children, it was always Miami. Those road trips to Florida were great. We tried, if anything, to order room service, and catch up on all the movies we hadn't seen.
Just try to nurture our marriage. We did our best, but obviously weren't successful. Room service was my favorite restaurant in Miami. Besides that and charity softball games, what other philanthropic work did you do? Chantel Kendall : For me, I kind of had this mentality. I'd seen people use charities for tax write-off purposes. I'd seen people make a big to-do about what they did, and it was almost nauseating.
My big thing with charity was always "I'm not doing this for a tax write-off and I always want it to come from the heart. I'll give you one particular story from Oakland. Jason was always very focused on it being a real and personal experience. I think in or , there was a little boy who was a catcher in San Bernardino I think, an Eastern suburb in Los Angeles. He was diagnosed with brain cancer.
He was a catcher and he idolized Jason. I said "Let's make a difference in a real way. They were a wonderful family. As the cancer progressed and got worse and worse. Down to the last couple of weeks, I told the mother, "Please, I want to make sure we at least get him to a game.
Because of his wheelchair and special needs, it wouldn't have worked commercially. We flew him up to Oakland. He had a special vehicle to bring him to the stadium.
He got to see the Golden Gate Bridge and do the tourist thing. He came to the game. He sat in the dugout with the guys, and I remember they all rubbed his head for good luck before they would get in the on-deck circle. That particular game, we were playing the Boston Red Sox and his other favorite catcher was Jason Varitek. My husband and Varitek spent a lot of time with him before and after the game. He was taken to the airplane and got back home. Two weeks later, Jacob passed away.
He was years-old. It almost kills me to even talk about it. I got an email from the mother and father, and it was written so eloquently. It wasn't about getting publicity out of it. It wasn't about doing it for show. But it certainly was about making sure that little boy had the best last two weeks of his life.
And that is charity. That's the type of charity that we like to do -- really being in someone's life and showing them a real role model should be. The drama is hilarious.
TV Tango: If you could be a guest star on any scripted sitcom, which show would you choose and why? It's just a really good mix and blend of what a modern family represents in Plus, the variety and chemistry of the cast.
I think it's hilarious. One Search. Ten Sites. Full text. Join the New Times community and help support independent local journalism in Phoenix.
