A mother has shared an upsetting story about her eight-year-old daughter, Mia DeCamilla, a cancer survivor, being pushed down a set of stairs by drunken fans at her first-ever NFL game. The incident occurred on Sunday, December 1, during the Buffalo Bills vs. San Francisco 49ers game. Mia, who was proudly holding a sign that read “I BEAT CANCER! MY FIRST NFL GAME!” was at the event with her parents when the shocking attack took place.
According to Mia’s mother, Mikey DeCamilla, a group of intoxicated Buffalo Bills fans pushed Mia down the stairs in section 312. Mikey shared her frustration on social media, posting an image of Mia holding the sign and recounting the traumatic event. Mikey explained that they had to leave the game earlier than planned, not because of the game itself, but because of the incident with the drunk fan. “Sadly we left earlier than planned,” Mikey wrote. “Yes, the Niners are losing, but unfortunately we had to deal with the police because a drunk Bills fan decided it was cool to pass my husband and I and pushed our eight-year-old daughter Warrior Mia down the stairs.”
The mother continued her heartfelt post by addressing the fan responsible for the incident, expressing how deeply it affected their family. She emphasized that Mia, a young cancer survivor, was proudly showing off her cancer-free status at the game and deserved to be treated with respect, not attacked. Mikey ended her post with a clear message: “If you are this type of Bills Mafia fan, please unfollow our family now. Also, I hope the a**hole who thought it was cool to push a kid that stood in the cold with her cancer-free sign was so worth your win!”
The emotional post quickly went viral, as many people expressed their sympathy for Mia and her family. The incident brought further attention to the ongoing support for Mia, as a GoFundMe campaign set up during her battle with cancer had recently resurfaced. The fundraising campaign, which was originally created to help with the family’s financial burdens during Mia’s treatment, had raised nearly $34,000 at the time of writing.
The GoFundMe page shared details of Mia’s journey through cancer, including her diagnosis of embryonal sarcoma, the subsequent surgery, and her final remission. It also highlighted the financial struggles Mia’s family faced during this time, as both of her parents are Marine Corps veterans, and her mother is currently out of work to care for Mia. The post concluded by recognizing Mia’s strength and resilience, calling her a true warrior who would continue to shine brightly despite the hardships she faced. The community’s support for the DeCamilla family has been overwhelming, with many offering prayers and donations to help them through this difficult time.
