Pat McAfee steps up big time for families in Indianapolis

Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee knows how to have fun on the field. He also understands the spirit of the holiday season.

McAfee helped out more than 100 families in the Indianapolis area by paying off their electric bills.

Per FOX59.com:

On Friday afternoon, 58-year-old Valerie Moore got a phone call from a friend who told her someone was paying off people’s utility bills. Moore dropped everything and drove over to the IPL office.

“All I could do was throw my hands up in the air and just give her the bill,” said Moore.

Moore had a nearly $400 bill with a disconnection notice set for Dec. 27.

“Money is super tight. Gas bill, light bill, rent, car, food, it’s real tight,” said Moore.

When Moore handed the IPL employee her bill, she heard something she hasn’t heard in a long time. The employee told her she had a zero balance.

Customer after customer had their bills paid in full.

“Two people at one time they came in together to pay their bill they stood there for about five minutes literally just crying for joy,” said Moore.
