The past couple of years have been particularly difficult for the Buffalo Bills franchise. First, it was the Damar Hamlin mishap that shook the entire NFL to its very core, and now one of the Buffalo Bills owners is fighting an uphill battle. Both Hamlin and the owner suffered similar setbacks but under different circumstances.
With all of the concerns, the Bills’ owner, Terry Pegula, turned to the fanbase seeking prayers and hoping that the loyal Buffalo natives pull through once again as they did for Hamlin.

We also ask, with God’s help, that Kim has a full recovery. We ask humbly, but we pray boldly.”

While Kim Pegula struggles, her family has been clinging to hopes of seeing her in perfect condition again. Many present at the service, time and again, reiterated the power of the almighty and their supreme trust in him.
Kim’s father, Ralph Kerr was also present at the ceremony and said, “She’s going to be right back to where she was on June 6 of last year, I believe that.”
Additionally, there is a chance for miracles to happen. Doctors told Kerr that only one in five people “who experience what Kim did ever live to tell about it”. The same doctor told Kerr, “The fact that she’s alive is well on the way to where you’re going to be.”
