Josh Allen Sends Financial Support to the Family of Kimber Mills to Honor the Young Girl Who Donated Her Organs After Being Taken Off Life Support
Buffalo, New York
In a heartfelt act of compassion, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has reached out to honor the memory of Kimber Mills, the 18-year-old Alabama student whose story has touched millions across the nation. Mills, who tragically lost her life after being shot at a weekend gathering, became an organ donor — saving the lives of others even after her own ended.
Moved by the story, Allen learned about Kimber through social media and felt compelled to pay tribute to her courage and to the strength of her family. Speaking to reporters after practice, Allen said:
“I can’t imagine the pain Kimber endured, having to suffer that kind of violence from someone she didn’t even know. Her family must be incredibly strong to make such a decision. Out there, someone gets to live again because of their courage.”
Known for his generosity and commitment to humanitarian causes, Allen has long supported children’s hospitals and families in need through his foundation. But according to those close to him, this gesture was deeply personal — inspired by the unshakable faith and kindness embodied by Kimber and her loved ones.
A representative for the Bills Foundation stated that Allen’s action was not meant for publicity but rather as “a quiet act of gratitude” toward a family that chose hope over heartbreak.
Multiple sources have confirmed that Josh Allen donated $100,000 to the Mills family, along with a handwritten letter honoring Kimber — whom he described as “a symbol of courage and a reminder that goodness can shine even in the darkest moments.”
A superstar’s kindness and a young girl’s bravery have now become intertwined — proof that even in tragedy, the human heart can still inspire light.
