A feel-good evening was ruined by a fan’s alleged reprehensible act at the San Francisco 49ers- Buffalo Bills game on Sunday.
Mia DeCamilla, eight years old, and her family braved the cold and snow to watch her beloved 49ers play the Bills. Mia, from Rochester, N.Y., twice beat cancer and became a Niners fan because of her dad.
An 8-year-old 49ers fan, who is a cancer survivor, was shoved by a Bills fan at Sunday’s game, causing her to fall from her seat. Her family said she was not hurt during the altercation, but was emotionally shaken.

The fun night was cut short after the family said a drunk Bills fan pushed Mia down the stairs in unshoveled section 312.
“He said, ‘I’m going to push through all these Niner fans,” said Mia’s father Mike DeCamilla. “So, he actually bumped me and my son a little bit and then got past me and pushed her, almost slid off the stairs and hit her like side on the chairs
“… “The guy purposely walked through and was pushing through people,” Mike said. “I get that it’s busy and hectic, but he had to be 6 foot and she is less than 100 pounds.”
Mia doesn’t want to go back to Highmark Stadium, reported WIVB.
“We don’t want to go back because I felt uncomfortable and I just don’t feel ready to go there anymore,” Mia said. “I just want to help and not be rude,” Mia said. “I’m just there to be a nice girl and just have fun.”
A GoFundme was set up to help Mia’s family. As of this writing, it had raised nearly $20,000. To donate, click here.
“Me and my dad in the hospital, we’ll watch football together, and then when I come home, sometimes for breaks, like in the hospital, when I had cancer, I will sit down and just relax and watch football all day, that’s what I like and how I made my team,” Mia told WIVB.
