Hospice patient in Steelers country thrilled to receive Patrick Mahomes gift package
South Connersville, Pennsylvania is roughly an hour southeast of Pittsburgh, so it comes as little surprise the borough is full of die-hard Steelers fans.
That includes 91-year-old Charlotte Holt, but she is also a big supporter of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
“I don’t know, I just like him,” Holt told the Daily Courier’s Roxanne Abramowitz. “I just think he’s nice.”
That story notes that Holt is in hospice and neighbor/caregiver Rebecca Bloom had reached out to the Steelers and Chiefs about Holt’s fandom.
This is from the Daily Courier story:
The Chiefs sent Charlotte a Mahomes-themed care package that included a signed photo, signed collector card and certificate.
“I contacted them multiple times,” Rebecca said. “I told them her story. She was a 91-year-old hospice patient and loved Patrick Mahomes.”
Rebecca also contacted the Steelers, who sent Charlotte a sticker.
That’s a cool gesture by the Chiefs, right?
Holt was thrilled to receive the goodies from Kansas City, and daughter Jackie Bartholomai surmised that her mom might have difficulty choosing who to support if the Chiefs faced the Steelers.
That’s when Holt interrupted and said: “Patrick always wins.”
The Daily Courier story said Holt only follows the Chiefs because of Mahomes.
“The best scenario would be if he would come to the Steelers,” Bartholomai said.
“Maybe,” Holt said, “they would start winning then.”
