Patrick Mahomes drove 320 miles to Comfort, TX, when he learned that 10 families had lost their homes to the flood — but what he did next left them in disbelief.

He and his team brought a gift box containing shirts, shoes, and a notebook with a handwritten note: “This is about starting over, not stopping.”

Patrick Mahomes and the Gift of Starting Over
In the small town of Comfort, Texas, the summer of 2025 had started like any other. Families gathered for barbecues, kids played in the streets, and the community thrived on its quiet charm. But in late June, a sudden and relentless flood tore through the town, leaving devastation in its wake. Ten families lost everything—homes reduced to rubble, memories swept away by the raging waters. The news spread quickly, reaching far beyond the borders of Comfort, all the way to Kansas City, where Patrick Mahomes, the NFL superstar quarterback, was preparing for another season with the Chiefs.

Patrick was no stranger to adversity. On the field, he’d faced countless challenges—blitzing defenses, high-stakes games, and the pressure of being a champion. Off the field, he’d built a reputation as a man who cared deeply, using his platform to uplift others. When he heard about the flood in Comfort, something stirred in him. The distance between Kansas City and Comfort was 320 miles, but to Patrick, it was a journey worth taking.

Without hesitation, he rallied his team—not his football team, but his foundation, the 15 and the Mahomies, a group dedicated to making a difference. “We’re going to Comfort,” he told them. “Those families need us.” His team didn’t question it. They packed up supplies, loaded vans, and began the long drive south. Patrick, behind the wheel of his own truck, led the convoy. The 320-mile journey gave him time to think—not about football, but about what it means to lose everything and how he could help these families find hope again.

When they arrived in Comfort, the scene was heartbreaking. Debris littered the streets, and the air was heavy with the scent of mud and loss. The ten families, displaced and weary, were staying in a local community center, their lives upended. Patrick and his team didn’t waste a moment. They unloaded boxes filled with essentials: clothes, shoes, blankets, and food. But Patrick had something special in mind, something beyond the basics. He wanted to give these families a spark, a reason to believe in starting over.

Each family received a gift box, carefully assembled by Patrick and his team. Inside were shirts and shoes, practical items to help them through the days ahead. But nestled among the essentials was something unexpected: a notebook. On the first page of each one, Patrick had written a handwritten note in his bold, unmistakable script: “This is about starting over, not stopping.” The words were simple, but they carried the weight of his belief in resilience, a belief forged through years of battling impossible odds on the field.

The families opened their boxes, and the room filled with gasps and whispers. A young girl, clutching a new pair of sneakers, read the note aloud to her mother, who wiped away tears. An elderly man, whose home had stood for decades before the flood, held the notebook tightly, as if it were a lifeline. The message resonated deeply—it wasn’t just about material aid; it was about reminding them that their story wasn’t over.

But Patrick wasn’t done. As the families processed the gifts, he gathered them together in the community center. Standing before them, his presence commanding yet warm, he spoke from the heart. “I know what it’s like to feel like the game’s over,” he said, his voice steady. “I’ve been down in the fourth quarter, with the clock ticking. But you don’t give up. You fight. You start over. And you build something even stronger.” He shared stories of his own setbacks—games lost, injuries battled, and moments when doubt crept in. He told them how each time, he found a way to keep going, and he believed they could too.

I’ll never forget how excited I was in 2006 when my first album sold 40,000 copies in its first week. I was 16 and couldn’t even fathom that that many people would care enough about my music to invest their time and energy into it. Since then I’ve tried to meet and thank as many people as I could who have given me the chance to chase this insane dream. Here we are all these years later and a hundred times that many people showed up for me this week. I have 4 million thank you’s I want to send to the fans, and 4 million reasons to feel even more proud of this album than I already was. Thank you for going out to celebrate this project in the movie theaters, investing in vinyl, streaming, watching the video, buying CDs, reading the poems I wrote inside the packaging, and immersing yourselves in The Life of a Showgirl. I’ll cherish this feeling forever. Just wow. Thank you for the lovely bouquet 💐 📸: Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott
