Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce supports another family that got affected while running to SAVE their lives

Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany paid a visit two young sisters recovering in hospital after they were shot in Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade earlier this week.

The NFL star, and his spouse, both 28, can be seen posing alongside Melia, 8, and Madison, 10, Reyes at Children’s Mercy Hospital on Wednesday, in photos shared with DailyMail.com on Friday. The two girls, who were among the 11 children injured, sustained gunshot wounds to their legs and are expected to make a full recovery.

The siblings had been in the crowd with mother, Erika Reyes, who is the cousin of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, the sole victim of the mass shooting on Wednesday. According to the family, the girls required surgery for their leg injuries and are now making ‘good progress’ in their recovery. In a public statement released on Friday, the family shared photos of the couple’s visit and thanked Patrick and Brittany Mahomes ‘for their outpouring care, love, and support.’

The heartwarming images show Mahomes and Brittany posing alongside the girls, who are smiling from ear to ear and holding a mini Kansas City Chiefs football helmet from their hospital beds. On behalf of the Reyes Family, we are incredibly grateful for the love, support, and prayers during this difficult time. Our family, along with the other families impacted by this senseless act, are still healing physically and emotionally,’ the statement read.

‘We’re happy to share that our daughters, ages 8 and 10, are making good progress in their recovery from their leg injuries. Both girls were shot in the legs, underwent surgery, and are currently in casts for several months. ‘We will endure follow-up doctor’s visits for the next few years. They are receiving physical therapy to regain their strength and mobility. While we are relieved by their progress, the emotional healing continues for all of us.
