Hurricane Harvey made landfall in southeast Texas a little more than a month ago, and Houston Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson is being recognized for his donation to three NRG Stadium employees.

Harvey dumped more than 27 trillion gallons of water, flooding the Houston area for days. Harvey has been considered one of the most damaging natural disasters in the U.S. history, causing an estimated $190 billion in damage.

Watson donated his first game check, $27,353, to three women who work in the NRG Stadium cafeteria. NRG Stadium is where the Texans play their home games.

The Texans posted a video on Twitter of Watson surprising the three women.

Watson said, "For what you all do for us every day and never complain, I really appreciate you all, so I wanted to give my first game check to y'all to help y'all out in some type of way," adding  "Hopefully, that's good and that can get you back on your feet. And anything else y'all need, I'm always here to help."

After Hurricane Harvey, many NFL teams and players donated to help those affected.

Texans defensive end JJ Watt is another player who took to social media to help encourage those to donate in the wake of Harvey.

Watt raised $37,097,298, according to Sports Illustrated, with more than 200,000 people donating.

Every gesture no matter the amount made to help those affected by Harvey won't go unnoticed.

And Watson is just one of the latest to lend a helping hand to those trying to get back on their feet after Harvey.

However, what many may not know is that Watson and his family were once recipients of Habitat for Humanity.

One day, Watson brought home a Habitat for Humanity pamphlet and his mother, Deann Watson, took the steps to get Deshaun and his three siblings out of their small public-housing apartment.

According to SBNation, Deann spent more than 300 hours volunteering with Habitat for Humanity and building homes for other families. In 2006, the Watsons received their own home.

During his time at Clemson University, Watson meet with the executive director of Habitat for Humanity, Monroe Free. The two came up with a plan for Watson to be the face for Habitat for Humanity in South Carolina.

"He's a kid that you say, 'I hope our kids grow up like that." Free told ESPN.

Watson's generous donation of his first NFL game check to those affected by Harvey proves just that.
