“My Mom Was in a Wheelchair”: Patrick Mahomes’ ‘Proud’ Dad Opens Up on Testing Days as a 7-Year-Old Child

Patrick Mahomes Sr. is a “very, very proud” father! The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback was once asked by his father to leave football; however, Patrick Mahomes still chose the sport over his father’s baseball. And now, his father is proud of what his son has shown in his seven years of NFL career. Besides that, there’s another reason Patrick Sr. is proud of his child.

As Mahomes is arguably one of the best quarterbacks in the league, he is also one of the kindest people in the sports world. This is clear from his recent KC Chiefs’ Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year nomination. Talking about his off-field efforts, his father, Patrick Sr., has an extraordinary story to tell the fans and make them even prouder of the quarterback.

Patrick Mahomes has a soft corner for the disabled and kids!

In the latest post by a YouTube channel, “Starcade Media,” the host picked up the topic of KC’s star Patrick Mahomes and his service to the community. The channel also included a clip of Mahomes’ father, Patrick Mahomes Sr., who recalled past incidents of his and his son’s life while praising the 2x SB champ. Mahomes Sr. said son Patrick always planned to do something “big in the community with charity and being big in the city.”

He further recalled, “My mom was in a wheelchair since I was seven years old. His grandmother [late Debbie Bates] was in a wheelchair,” so the quarterback has seen all those struggles that disabled people go through. Furthermore, the former MLB player said that Mahomes has “always been passionate about kids, even when he was in high school or was coaching.” Patrick Sr. concluded that Mahomes wants everyone to get the best of their life like he got the best out of his. So, Mahomes Sr. said that he is “very, very proud of being his father.” And that’s absolutely true!

Mahomes has done a lot for the community and wants the best for everyone. He has even created a foundation in his name to contribute to the welfare of children and those in need.

A flashback to what Patrick Mahomes said about his foundation’s aim!

In April 2019, Patrick Mahomes appeared in “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” where he announced he would launch a foundation aimed at improving the lives of children. He discussed his then-upcoming 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, emphasizing its focus on children. The foundation aims to support kids from under-served communities, providing opportunities similar to what Mahomes had during his youth.

It aims to assist children with chronic illnesses or major injuries in hospitals. Mahomes added, “Because those kids are the ones that train harder than me by 100 times every single day. I want to make sure I can give back to them in any shape and any way in order to give them the resources they need to have an amazing life.“
