In a heart-wrenching incident in Texas, Jason Maldonado, known as "Dia Billo," and his wife were involved in a tragic accident that left him injured and his wife April deceased. The couple was struck by a pickup truck while enjoying a morning walk just days before Thanksgiving. Jason is currently recovering from his injuries, but the loss of April, the mother of their four children, has left a profound impact on their family and the Bills community.
Fans from Western New York and beyond have rallied around Maldonado, demonstrating the strong sense of camaraderie that defines Bills Mafia. Fellow super fans have expressed their sorrow over the tragedy. Although many do not know Jason personally, they feel a deep connection through their shared love for the Buffalo Bills.
The outpouring of support has been overwhelming with many fans taking to social media to express their condolences and solidarity with the Maldonado family. Bills Mafia is often described as a family, and this situation has highlighted that bond.
Jason, who resides in San Antonio but frequently travels to Buffalo for games, has garnered significant support from the community. Fans have initiated a GoFundMe campaign to assist the family, which has already raised nearly $20,000.
In addition to the GoFundMe, a Meal Train has been set up to provide meals for the family.
