Young heart transplant recipient cheered on at Chiefs game

Ten-year-old heart transplant recipient Jayson Olguin had his wish granted by Make-A-Wish, The Chiefs, and the Raphael Hotel when he attended the Chiefs’ Wild Card matchup against the Dolphins. Despite being from south Florida, Olguin became a Chiefs fan after seeing clips of the players on social media. He even took the time to memorize all 32 NFL rosters, totaling nearly 1,700 players. Before the game, he enjoyed a stadium tour and had the opportunity to sit in Patrick Mahomes’ locker. Mahomes himself approached Olguin and expressed his joy at his attendance, presenting him with a game ball, which Olguin plans to treasure forever.
