pence's early exit a publicity stunt. >> he knew our team has had the most twitter protests. we knew that we were probably going to do it again. >> most players who took a knee during the anthem say they're showing unity against social injustice. and the owner of the dallas cowboys now says any player who is disrespects the flag will not play. jerry jones told t"the dallas morning news", if there is anything disrespecting the flag, we will not play. there's no question in my mind that the dallas cowboys are going to stand up for the flag. the nfl players' association responded saying, we cannot allow our rights to become subservient to the very opinions our constitution protects. that is what makes us the land of the free and home of the brave. well, a young eagles fan is getting national attention for her video that responds to comments panthers quarterback cam newton made about a female reporter. we showed you the video on friday night and then nbc 10 caught up with that fan at the game. >> okay, cam, pay attention,

payment. >> this allows you to tell your story. it allows for folks to be able to buy in to the story of what it is you have, your loan story, your home story. and one of the things our tag line is, is fund your way home. >> cmg financial, a mortgage lender, is launching home fund me. it's an online platform that gives home buyers a way to market their needs and receive multiple, tax-free cash gifts from anyone to finance the down payment on a home. previously, lenders limited down payment assistance to close family members, employers, nonprofit, and religious organizations. all with significant documentation. this pilot program has the blessing of fannie mae and freddie mac, which finance the vast majority of mortgages today. >> what we're doing today is we're trying to test and learn a variety of solutions. the preference for today's home buyers have changed significantly. and there's no silver bullet to solving a problem that's as hard as, how do you find a down payment? >> millennials are not only

saddled with high levels of student loan debt, they're also paying very high rent, which makes saving harder. but they're also starting to get married and have children. >> of course, we see the wedding registries. you're going to spend $250 on a coffee-making machine, if that $250 goes to a down payment of your home, at the very least, at the very least, i improve your quality of life. >> would you rather have somebody have a lot of money in the bank after they buy the home and no down payment or the opposite? and so we still have a lot of questions and a lot to learn when it comes to the role of down payments. >> and that's why this is just a test program to see not only if the crowd is willing to fund home buying, but also if homeowners see that gift for all it's worth. >> that was diana olick reporting. two local men are teaming up to fight breast cancer. see how a ninja warrior is using a popular self-defense technique to get you involved in the

taper off right now. here you can see the heavier downpours that are moving through trenton right now, mercer county. it's just to the north of trenton. this is all moving quickly. and that's from the history of this storm system. thaez a these are the remnants of nate. nate moves so quickly through the gulf of mexico. it wasn't able to gain a lot of strength, category 1 hurricane. there's still moisture and we're still dealing with that, at least for now. watch how quickly things change. by later this afternoon, we're just looking at some scattered showers, an isolated thunderstorm is possible, i think most areas will not see that. and then we'll be drying out during the evening hours, just the last of that few showers right along the coastline and some to the southwest. most of the rain happens during the day today. in fact, it's happening right now. and by early tomorrow morning, we're getting some nice breaks of sunshine. that's going to clear the way for a nice, sunny day for tomorrow and lead to another big warm-up. and we will see temperatures

climb today, but they'll go even higher, with sunshine tomorrow. the clouds, the showers,thal linger to the south. this is first thing tomorrow morning. we'll see a lot of sunshine tomorrow. the system lingers to the south. actually, some of this cloud cover will start coming back into play come wednesday. and that will bring us some cooler weather, finally. but not today, and not tomorrow. breaks of sunshine this afternoon, as the showers taper off on this columbus day, a high of 80 degrees in philadelphia with clouds breaking for snoo sunshine tomorrow. 84. that's after a morning low of 65 degrees. still in the 60s on wednesday morning. clouds build wednesday, and a good chance we'll see some showers late on wednesday zeidier rainfall on thursday. that's going to keep temperatures below normal for a change. 50s in the morning, 60s in the afternoon. and the clouds will linger on friday. another cool day into the upper 60s. that's typical for this time of year. but another warm-up, timed perfectly for the weekend. 77 degrees on saturday.

plenty of sunshine, back into the 80s on sunday, but the humidity stays low on sunday. a chance of showers, another cold front coming through monday. this one will bring the temperatures back down to normal autumn levels on tuesday and wednesday. >> thanks, bill. well, while college students prepare to take their midterms in the next couple of weeks, one student from our area has been juggling his studying with dialysis. nbc 10's matt delucia tells us hays waiting for a miracle. >> reporter: among all the students at lasalle university, there's one that stands out, but you would evenever notice what kevin has been going through. >> he doesn't skip a beat. he just keeps putting one foot in front of another, that's his motto. >> reporter: his mother, moira, can't help admire what kevin can do. his bedroom looks more like a hospital room. his kidney dialysis machine, quite frankly, keeps him alive. >> i kind of pretend like nothing's happening, and even though it's kind of hard doing dialysis every night and it's

difficult. >> reporter: we first met kevin 17 years ago when he had his first kidney transplant. back then, his dad was the donor. last december, kevin went into kidney failure. and so his mother stepped up. >> i had all my tests done, was ready to do it, five days before the surgery, we had our pre-admission testing and when they put our blood together in a petrie dish, his blood attacked my blood. >> reporter: doctors say when kevin had gotten sick earlier in the year, he developed antibodies that took away that match, along with other potential matches. >> everything fell out from under us. >> reporter: now only one in ten potential donors would be able to give a kidney to kevin. this summer, lasalle put out a plea, asking for someone, anyone who could help. >> which we realized is a big deal. it's not like giving blood or having a tooth pulled. >> it's just a matter of waiting and being patient and persevering through this hard time i'm at right now. >> reporter: so far, no match.

but hope is alive as kevin heads to class every day that he can, so that he may one day work to help others just like him. >> like, you see so much bad in the world, but like, it's nice to see that there are good people out there that are willing to help. >> reporter: matt delucia, nbc 10 news. >> for more information on how you can help kevin or others who need a donor, go to our website, nbc10.com or click the nbc 10 app. we'll be right back.

this is just into our newsroom from south jersey. police in gloucester township now say this deadly crash on sicklerville road killed four people. the police chief says the people in both car lived near each other in winslow township. however, it's unclear how well they knew each other. the collision happened just before 5:00 yesterday evening. shut down sicklerville road for hours. nbc 10's vick blocker is joining more on this and will have more at 4:00. today coming up at 3:00, an all new "ellen," she welcomes harrison ford. and at 4:00, time is of the essence. what walmart is doing to make sure that some shoppers spend less time in their stores. that story and more today on nbc 10 news at 4:00.

and get there, it's going to be this. muggy out there. >> most of the afternoon, people will probably be trying to spend less time outdoors with the rain coming down. but actually, we'll see improving conditions. right now the rain is coming down at a pretty good clip in camden. but not for much longer. you can see that one isolated moderate shower moving into new jersey. look how it's drying out in the suburbs already. we'll see this rain taper off rather quickly. we'll get some late-day sunshine, 80 this afternoon. lots of sunshine tomorrow and another round of some wet weather. we'll really cool things down wednesday and thursday. and then another warm-up set for the weekend. looks like it's going to be a gorgeous weekend, it just won't feel like fall. no, fall returns next week, with temperatures in the upper 60s for highs tuesday and wednesday. and that's normal for this time of year. so it's going to take some time to get there, but we'll ride this roller coaster a little bit longer before we get to normal autumn weather. >> normal and 68, but tomorrow it will be 84. >> yep. >> go figure. thanks for watching nbc 10 news

at 11:00. for bill henley and all of us here at nbc 10, have a great day.
