Brittany Mahomesis supporting a cause with a special connection to her family of four.

Speaking with PEOPLE about her partnership withOWYN, the Kansas City Current co-owner, 28, talks about how food allergies impact her two children —Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, who celebrated his first birthday last month, andSterling Skye, 2½.

“I can relate to all moms and families out there that are dealing with children with severe food allergies,” Brittany tells PEOPLE. “The holiday season is extremely difficult when gatherings and activities revolve around food, and it is so special to be able to help these people and reassure them that they are not alone.”

Brittany says that she and husbandPatrick Mahomesalways have to be “hyper-aware of what food and drinks we have in our household” because of her children’s allergies.

“We recently found out my son Bronze has asevere peanut allergy, which led to ascary trip to the ER. It was one of the most terrifying days of my life,” she says. “Fortunately, he was okay, but I’ve had to cope with this new way of living and ensure my family is safe inside the home and out.”

Of her daughter, she adds, “We’ve been aware of Sterling’s allergies since she was an infant. We’ve been learning more along the major childhood milestones and are so grateful to continue to discover helpful resources along the way.”

The partnership has already been an eye-opener for Brittany, adding to her own research into the subject.

“I want Sterling and Bronze to grow up having a healthy relationship with food, and my goal as a mom is to ensure they feel safe and informed in case of emergency. We are learning so much.”

With worries about food aside, the mom of two can help rally her kids as they root for their dad and the Kansas City Chiefs.

“It’s been such an exciting season,” Brittany raves. “I’ve loved having Sterling and Bronze beside me to watch their dad do what he loves!”
