Jalen Hurts Donates $1 Million to the Family of an 18-Year-Old Alabama Student Shot at a Weekend Party
Tuscaloosa, Alabama — The nation is mourning after a heartbreaking tragedy in Alabama, where 18-year-old Kimber Mills was shot in the leg and head during a weekend party. Amid the grief, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has captured hearts across the country by donating $1 million to support Mills’ family in this devastating time.
“She had the biggest crowd for an Honor Walk that the doctors had ever seen,” said Mills’ sister tearfully. “She was loved by so many. We will miss you, Kimber.”
The shooting occurred around 7:08 p.m., when Mills was attending a gathering with friends. Despite doctors’ best efforts, she did not survive her injuries. In the midst of their unimaginable pain, her family made a powerful, selfless decision — to donate Kimber’s organs to save the lives of others.
News of that decision quickly spread across Alabama — and deeply moved Jalen Hurts, who once called the state home during his college years at the University of Alabama.
“I spent a lot of time in Alabama and have so many great memories there,” Hurts said. “When I heard about what happened to Kimber, I couldn’t just sit still. No one deserves to lose their life like that. I just wanted to do something — anything — to let her family know they’re not alone.”
According to Hurts’ representatives, the $1 million donation will go directly to the Kimber Mills Memorial Fund, which will assist with funeral costs and provide scholarships for local students in her honor.
On social media, fans and teammates flooded timelines with messages of admiration:
“This is why we love Jalen Hurts — not just for what he does on the field, but for the kind of man he is off it.”
NEW: Hundreds of high school students line the hallways of an Alabama hospital to say goodbye to their classmate as she heads into surgery to become an organ donor.
