Travis Kelce adds to steps he took for Super Bowl parade shooting victims
Taylor Swift’s beau Travis Kelce exhibits sympathy for Kansas City Super Bowl parade shooting victims and donates a heavy amount.
According to Page Six, Kansas City Chiefs’ tight-end recently sent a very kind donation to two sisters who were hurt in the fatal Kansas City Chiefs parade shooting earlier this week.
The Reyes family, who are requesting money for the rehabilitation of their two daughters, who were “celebrating with many members of their family when they were senselessly injured,” received a $100,000 present from the 34-year-old tight end on Friday.
“Travis has a really big soft spot for kids and wanted to make sure their families were taken care of and were supported with whatever they needed,” a source told the outlet.
The donation was given through Kelce’s organisation, 87 and Running, to the NFL star’s own charity, which supports youngsters through “Operation Breakthrough”.
The two girls, whose names have not been revealed for patient confidentiality reasons, are still recovering from the horrific event, according to the Reyes family’s GoFundMe page. Their ages are eight and ten.
With Kelce’s financial assistance, the Reyes family has already reached their goal of $100,000 and is expected to exceed it.
The donation comes after the NFL player made a “jersey” charity with girlfriend Taylor Swift
Together, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce donated the tight end’s Kansas City Chiefs jersey, autographed by both the player and his pop star girlfriend to charity.
The highly sought-after item will be auctioned off on Saturday, according to Page Six.
The two donated it to the Guelph Wish Fund for Children, a charitable organisation that supports children under the age of 19 living in Guelph or Wellington County, Ontario, Canada, who are battling life-threatening illnesses.
