Cowboys Star Retires at 30 — Returns to Dallas for One Final, Emotional Goodbye

Posted October 18, 2025 Buffalo, NY — Compassion once again shined through the NFL community as Hailee Steinfeld, girlfriend of Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, made a heartfelt $100,000 donation to help a young Bills fan battling stage 4 cancer. The act of generosity came just days before the Bills’ Week 7 matchup against the New England Patriots, proving that kindness — not touchdowns — is what truly defines family in Bills Mafia. According to the child’s GoFundMe page, Steinfeld donated $100,000 to support three-year-old Ella Thompson, who is fighting stage 4 neuroblastoma. Along with the donation, she wrote: “Sending love, strength, and all my prayers to Ella and her amazing family. You’re part of our Bills family now — we’re with you every step of the way.” 💙 The donation followed a viral video showing little Ella watching a Bills game from her hospital bed, proudly wearing a Josh Allen jersey and shouting, “That’s my quarterback!” The clip quickly spread across social media — eventually reaching Steinfeld, who responded in the most powerful way possible. Ella’s mother, Jennifer Thompson, shared an emotional message after the donation: “I’m speechless. Thank you so much, Hailee. You’ve given us hope when we needed it most. The Bills mean so much to Ella — this just made her world brighter.” Fans across Buffalo and beyond flooded social media with messages of gratitude, praising Hailee’s quiet generosity and compassion. Many called it a perfect reflection of the Allen family’s kindness, both on and off the field. Even as the Bills prepare for their primetime divisional showdown, Steinfeld’s act of kindness has become the talk of the league — a reminder that in Buffalo, football is more than a game. It’s community. It’s love. It’s family. As one fan wrote: “Josh leads the team on the field, and Hailee leads with her heart. That’s what makes them Buffalo through and through.” 💙❤️🏈
