Amid the community still enveloped in mourning, Patrick Mahomes – the captain of the Kansas City Chiefs – quietly performed a gesture that moved many people.
According to an internal source from a charity organization in Kansas, Mahomes silently donated $500,000 to “The Horizon Relief Fund” – a fund specializing in supporting families of victims in aviation disasters and serious accidents nationwide.
No press release, no Instagram post, the act was only known when a member of the organization revealed the information in an internal meeting last night.
“Patrick did not request to be named. He just said: ‘If possible, please help them as quickly as possible’. That’s all he left,” the person shared.

The UPS plane crash in Louisville killed at least 7 people and injured 11, including residents near the airport area. The tragedy shocked the entire United States, and right in that moment, Mahomes’ act became a small light amid great pain.
A close source revealed further that Mahomes confided to his personal assistant right after hearing about the incident: “Being a pilot was my dream when I was little. It’s heartbreaking to witness this happen – when people just doing their jobs can’t make it home. I want to do something, even if small, for them and for those who are suffering.”
Patrick Mahomes, known not only for his talent on the field but also for his compassionate heart, has participated many times in community activities through his “15 and the Mahomies” Foundation. But this time, he chose silence – not for fame, but for true empathy.
