Travis Kelce funded IVF treatments for 13 couples — all because one fan gave him a baby onesie for his birthday…
A fan named Marissa once gave Travis a tiny onesie with a note: “We can’t have kids — but you give us hope.”
Travis secretly paid for 13 IVF treatments, all successful. For every baby born, he mailed a cap embroidered with his jersey number, 87.🍼👶🎁
The Gift of Hope
The stadium roared with the kind of energy that could shake the earth. Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce had just caught a touchdown pass, his signature grin flashing across the jumbotron. Fans screamed his name, jerseys emblazoned with his number, 87, dotting the sea of red and gold. Among them was Marissa Thompson, a lifelong Chiefs fan, clutching a small gift bag with trembling hands. It was Travis’s birthday, and she’d waited hours to get close enough to hand him her gift. It wasn’t much—a tiny baby onesie, red with a gold “87” stitched on the front, tucked inside with a handwritten note. But to Marissa, it was everything.
Marissa and her husband, David, had been trying to start a family for years. Countless doctor visits, tests, and tears had led to a heartbreaking truth: they couldn’t have children without in vitro fertilization (IVF), a process far beyond their financial reach. Yet, watching Travis on the field—his relentless optimism, his refusal to give up—gave Marissa a spark of hope. She poured her heart into the note, writing, “We can’t have kids—but you give us hope.” It was a long shot, but she wanted him to know how his spirit lifted hers.
Travis, sweaty and exhilarated post-game, accepted the bag with his usual charm. “This is awesome, thank you!” he said, flashing a smile before heading to the locker room. Marissa assumed that was the end of it. A small moment, quickly forgotten by a superstar with a million fans. But she didn’t know Travis Kelce.
