In a tragic event that occurred at the Kansas City Chiefs’ celebration of their Super Bowl victory, numerous individuals were wounded and one person lost their life due to a shooting incident. As a result, the Chiefs’ prominent tight end has generously contributed a substantial amount to aid a family consisting of two young girls who were injured during the incident.
Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Chiefs, made a donation of $100,000 to a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe initiated by the Reyes family. This family is currently grappling with the recovery of their daughters, who sustained gunshot wounds and are currently undergoing treatment at a hospital. Kelce’s donation was made through his charitable organization, Eighty-Seven & Running.
We express our immense gratitude on behalf of the Reyes Family for the love, support, and prayers received during this challenging period. Our family, along with the other families affected by this senseless act, are still in the process of physical and emotional healing.
The family has also shared that both girls, aged 10 and 8, will require casts for several months and are undergoing physical therapy to regain their strength and mobility. Both girls suffered gunshot wounds to their legs. As previously mentioned, the two girls remain hospitalized and were visited by the Chiefs’ quarterback and his spouse.
Kelce’s contribution of $100,000 to the Reyes family’s GoFundMe page was just one among over 1000 donations, totaling more than $73,000. The incident took place during the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade in Kansas City, Missouri on Wednesday, resulting in injuries to 22 individuals, including multiple children, and the loss of one life. The victim who lost their life was a relative of the injured girls’ mother.
While Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ tight end, made a generous donation of $100,000 to the family of the two injured girls, his girlfriend also made a similar contribution to the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who tragically lost her life in the shooting.
Swift, a 14-time Grammy Award-winning singer, made a $100,000 donation to Lopez-Galvan’s family through their GoFundMe page. She also penned a heartfelt message to the grieving family. Taylor Swift’s contribution, along with others, helped surpass the initial goal of $75,000, raising over $180,000 within a span of 14 hours. A truly compassionate gesture.
According to multiple reports, the police have apprehended three suspects, including two minors, in connection with the shooting incident. The tragic occurrence unfolded as a result of a personal dispute that escalated into a violent confrontation involving firearms. Law enforcement authorities assert that the incident was not premeditated.
