Josh Allen helps Bills fan’s family cope with loss

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen typically warms the hearts of Western New Yorkers every Sunday throughout the NFL season; this spring, he did so for a grieving social media user who reached out in need.

User X Mikey (@ThatMikeYouLike) posted an image of an Instagram message he sent to the caller on April 27; the post explains that the user’s teenage nephew had recently died in a “freak accident.” The teen was a fan of the Bills and their quarterback and was dressed in an Allen jersey during an open casket viewing. The social media user asked Allen for a signed jersey in memory of his late nephew.

The post gained traction, with over 350,000 views at the time of publication. The Bills eventually asked for his shipping details; he received a jersey with Allen’s signature and a personalized message on May 15.

Allen’s message on the jersey reads “Sending all the love in the world!” »

It’s a kind gesture on Allen’s part that shows the authenticity of the smuggler. This had an impact on the recipient; A Los Angeles Chargers fan, Mikey has since posted that the Bills now “holds a special place in his heart.»

Mikey created a GoFundMe to help cover his nephew’s funeral expenses; If you would like to donate, you can do so here.
